Six years ago today was the very last time she would go to the hospital and never come back home. Breast cancer was knocking at her door and anxious to take her away from her family. She had such hopes in the beginning of her admission to the hospital. I remember receiving her phone call that she was just getting another MRI to check about the extreme pain in her lower back. I immediately went to Ventura and to the hospital to be with her. The MRI could not be completed due to her anxiety so they brought her back to her room and rescheduled for another day. She sat up on the hospital bed and looked out the window saying she so wanted to walk out and get fresh air and maybe eat an ice-cream with me. Then the pain started and just would not leave her. The nurse exclaimed to us all that she could not administer another dose of pain medication because it was not time to do it. Meantime, Jeannette was crying in pain and squeezing my hand so tightly when the sharp pain would come. She suffered so much until her death on September 3, 2009.
I am here thinking of her and missing her so much.
