Mick S 1999 Report post Posted June 26 Alison passed away Tuesday morning, after a lengthy illness, as they say. She's not suffering any more and I'm at peace with that. In the end, she went quietly. The word I hear people use to describe her more than any other is kind. Tuesday evening one of my friends sent me a text asking if she and her husband could bring over some pizzas and beer. Alison's son and his dad were there and it was just what we all needed in the moment. We have been having the stucco on our house redone. Around 9:30 I noticed a car coming down the driveway and someone walking toward my shop, so I went outside to check it out. When I approached him he looked terrified and tried to explain that he didn't speak any English. I let him know that I speak Spanish also so he told me that while moving some scaffolding they had accidentally knocked a hummingbird nest out of one of our plum trees with a mama and two babies in it. He had taken them home along with the nest, and fed them. He was bringing them back in a small Tupperware dish to place them back in the tree. Nothing would have thrilled Alison more. Mama and babies are doing fine. There is kindness in this world. We simply have to notice it. 4 7 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dave S 38 Report post Posted June 26 Mick, I too am so sorry for your loss. Mourning is an experience we all will know sooner or later, but I’m so sorry it had to be sooner for you with Alison. It is difficult to see someone we love suffer and just as difficult to enter that necessary place where you are at peace that the suffering is over. My prayers are with you and while the support of this community that I am pleased to be part of won’t remove your heart ache from her absence, it will be with you always as you move forward. God bless. 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
