At the beginning of February I went back to Florida for Jack's memorial service. He wanted his ashes scattered at sea. It was a beautiful ceremony with friends and family........
Gerald, Mom, Me, Tom (Jack's son), Paula, Julie (Tom's wife, in front)
I planned on staying in Florida with Mom for a couple of weeks, then returning home. Before I left Mom started feeling bad so I ended up bringing her to the ER to find out what was wrong.
Turned out she had a rare form of cancer (peritonial). The good news was it was treatable with 6 months of chemo and an operation. She wanted treatment at Mayo clinic in Jacksonville so I went home to close up my house, my brother Gerald found an apartment there that would accept pets, so Tux and I went to live in Ponte Vedra Beach (just south of Jacksonville).
September 30th Mom was given the all clear. Whew! October 1st I moved her back to Ft Lauderdale, my sister came down to stay with her for a few weeks and I left for home on October 4th.

What a whirlwind year you had! Glad your mom's treatments were sucessful. Hopefully things will be calm going forward now.
