Yes, I had called her the next morning (her mid afternoon). That was Monday, November 27, 2006. And it was the last time that I could talk to her. I was trying to stay brave myself and not to break-out into tears while talking, she was so happy and content that I called her. And still, she is mentally all here and only her body is failing. She said herself that she feels it's the right thing to do, let nature take its way. I was going to tell her that the tradition of baking cookies for all family members I took over and each Xmas for the past several years I'd make Brunsli (after grandmothers recipe) and Cinnamon Stars and other typical Swiss cookies and I usually make like 20 bags of them and hand them out on Xmas day. This tradition is in memory of her and how I adored getting each Xmas a plate with her cookies up in Wengen. But I forgot to tell her. It's okay though, I just think she would have liked to hear that. And I want to continue with this tradition, it's like a little thank you what you've all done for me in my childhood, thanks for being around and being my family and having given me some nice memories.

Later that week the news was that she was out of immediate grave condition, but that she would not be able to return to her spaces at the assisted living place due to the fact that she needs every 2 days a blood transfusion. Nobody wanted to tell her and she thought she’d just get better and then go back. […]
