It's been exactly one year ago today that my mother-in-law, Wanda, passed away from a massive blood clot. She'd just had hip surgery the day before, and was doing fine, or so we were told.
It's weird the things you remember. I recall Dave, my father-in-law Ed, and me eating at a fish place after we left the hospital room the night just before she died. I looked at my watch and it read, "8:32 PM".
It also hangs in my mind how I was the last one out of her hospital room, and just as I was leaving, she called to me and said, "Now Kimmie, you hold down the fort."
I just looked at her strangely and nodded, "Okay, I promise. I love you."
She smiled brightly, "I love you too honey."
