Probate Court closed on the estate. I received a letter of completion our lawyer submitted to the court.

My responsibility to my mom is legally over.

I'm listening to some audio files this afternoon: conversations my sister had with my mom when my sister came home for a visit, in the midst of mom's dementia (it's for a project we're working on). Aside from an occasional piece of repetition mom sounds wonderful.

I've been thinking of my mom lately. She loved Spring, her garden, being out in the sun. She pops into my thoughts like new shoots in sunlight.
