Pauline Eggleton 1928-2009
This is somber. My mother passed away yesterday, VERY suddenly. She was seemingly fine and the picture of health, and then became severely dizzy and had a massive stroke which basically shut her down bodily. The prognosis was grim and as such, she passed away at 7:45PM.
I'm really stunned and overwhelmed. I did not see this coming. That's the worst part of it. SHe had been line dancing, exercising and socializing this week. She was the picture of health for someone at her age.
I will be sort of taking a blog break here for at least two weeks. But I won't go away...

My good friend Jim Belfiore took this picture last night. I appropriated it so I am sure he doesn't mind. He thought of my mom looking at it. What's stranger? So did I. It was the first thing I saw in the sky last night. And really, like a gateway or direction. It also means, to me, the light on the Dark Side of The Moon. And what did I wake up to this morning on the radio? Two tunes from Pink Floyd's Dark Side Of The Moon. You figure it out.
All good thoughts are appreciated and with my heartfelt thanks,
Bob

My sincere condolences for your loss Bob. Draw joy from the fact that, as you mentioned, she was active, social and happy up until the last minute. All the best.
Bob,
You will be in my thoughts & prayers. . .
Perfect image... I'm terribly sorry about the loss of your mother. Thinking good thoughts in your direction.
Thanks so much. It means alot. I must be feeling all those good thoughts...
My thoughts are with you and your mom, Bob. My father passed Tuesday, and as I was sitting shiva and offline, I only learned of your Mom's death today.
I'm glad that you have such good memories, but, as I've been learning, while there's comfort in that, it's also harder to say goodbye.
I'll be thinking of you both for quite awhile.
Best,
