I was 38 and married a couple of years. The last time I saw my Mom was
my wedding, but I talked to her on the phone daily. My Mom died on
9-11. Not in the terrorist attacks, but because of them. She watched
them on TV all day and then died suddenly that evening. The
housekeeper found her in the morning, sitting on the couch with the TV
still on, with a kitty in her lap. Her poor old heart couldn't take
it. I got the call and was in total shock. I still can't believe it
happened, actually.
