48. My mother died at 95.

Wed Feb 18, 2026, 04:36 AM

Wednesday

Her funeral was not well attended. My husband and I were there. My 91 year old uncle and his wife were there, along with the granddaughter who was their driver. My surviving brother did not attend. None of the grandchildren attended. A handful of people from her church attended. They tried to say good things. They should have saved their breath.

Today I received a letter from the lady we had appointed her guardian. (My mother had dementia and lived more than four hours away from us). Her estate has been settled and we can expect a check. It is ironic. I had expected nothing. There will be some money, but not enough to make me or anyone else rich. It is best for me to move on. It is unhealthy if I don't.
