Dear Gus & Baby #2,
I forgot to take a picture today, so here’s one from six years ago. I’m fairly certain this was Mom’s first trip to Floyd to meet Mum. We’d been dating about two and a half months. Aunt Nancy’s holding a picture of Mum taken when she was 17 years old. 
This makes me nostalgic. I miss Mum. I miss sitting there at her table like this. Looking at the picture brings a flood of sensory details the photo can’t capture: Mum’s voice, the sound of the table creaking, the sound of ice in those glasses, the sound of someone in the garage, someone in the living room, or the absence of those sounds. 
Dad.
Floyd, Arkansas. 2.8.2015. - 1.23pm.

Dear Gus,
After some time off of the ventilator, Mum chose not to be placed back on it when the doctors recommended doing so, and she knew that would be the death of her. The nurses moved her from CCU to a room upstairs so we could have more room as a family to spend time with her (but when we got to the room, it was smaller).
Mum had her wits about her until the end. She said goodbye in a way that seemed as if she had orchestrated it long ago. Even though she was clearly in pain and had trouble breathing, she refused to numb her senses until all her grandchildren were present. She asked how far out John was on his way in from Tahlequah and when I told her two hours, she said, “I think I can probably do that.” At that point, Mary Alice was half an hour in front of him, but he beat her to the hospital.
When everyone was in the room, Mum asked that we all hold hands. She told us to stick together as a family, to work hard, and to keep God in our lives. Then she asked that we all pray together. We assumed she would ask Will to lead the prayer because of his preacher status, but Mum led the prayer, despite the nurses telling her not to talk because of how much it would affect her breathing. And then we sang a song I didn’t know, but I later found out it was called “Angel Band.”
When it was over, Mum said, “Okay, I’m ready.” I went to the nurses’ station and told them she was ready to be put on whatever alternative to morphine they had prepared for her—she was allergic to morphine.
After the nurse left, we all stood around Mum in silence, waiting for her to die. After two or three minutes of nothing but the sound of sniffles, Mum said, “I didn’t think it would take this long.” Everyone laughed. 
She died an hour and a half later. I loved her. I’ll miss our long afternoons of talking about her life. She was a pillar of strength in our family. And irreplaceable.

The family met at the funeral home today to get a first look at Mum--which sounds weird, but that’s what it is. Funeral will be Tuesday.

Dear Gus,
Everyone had a great time at your birthday party. You were overwhelmed at first when so many people were coming into our house, but after you shed a few tears and spent some quality time in the arms of your parents, you got comfortable enough to crawl around, open presents, and eat one of Nene’s cupcakes in front of everyone.

Dear Gus,
In celebration of Papa’s birthday, everyone is getting together at Mum’s for dinner. It will always feel strange that he left this world so close to your entering it.

Dear Gus,
We took you out to see Mum this afternoon and she was excited, but let’s be real here--LOOK HOW CHUNKY YOUR THIGHS ARE GETTING. You’ve been eating non-stop and now I know it’s because you’re definitely hitting a growth spurt. Keep up the good work, Son.

Dear child(ren),
The hospice nurse told Penny that Papa is transitioning medically--his eyes have gotten foggy, he’s developed a rattle in his chest, and he’s getting ready to leave this place. Mum said it best when she told me this afternoon, “This isn’t the way things are supposed to happen.”

Dear Gus & Magnus,
We went on our annual family Christmas Tree Hunt today and I was surprised that there was a huge turnout. It was the first time since Mum's funeral that I felt like I was at an inclusive Choate Family event. Monkel hosted at his house in the woods and both his sisters were there. Laura's family and Mary Alice & Charlie were missing, but otherwise, the gang was pretty much back together again.
Dad.
Floyd, Arkansas. 12.19.2021 - 2.45(ish)pm.

Dear Gus,
The good folks at the Floyd United Methodist Church served our family a nice lunch in the fellowship hall, which is home to a lot of good memories for me. Afterward, we had a viewing and then the funeral, at which I read something about Mum. I was nervous about it because it described some of the traumatic events of her life, but people seemed to enjoy it. Lee also said a few things about her. And Mark Quick delivered the best message I’ve ever heard him give. 
Following the service, we walked across the street to the cemetery. Then we went to Mum’s house for a little while. I was glad to spend some time with Ronnie Dean. (You stayed with Yiayia today.)

Dear Gus,
You got a homemade valentine in the mail today from Mum. We were supposed to go pay her a visit last weekend, but she worried she’d been exposed to someone who had developed the flu, which has been especially bad this year. She cancelled because she said, “I wouldn’t be able to live with myself if I got that baby sick.” We need to go visit her soon.
Dad
