Ruth, my mother in law

Ruth passed away yesterday morning. She had battled stage four cancer for two years. We had two wonderful extra years with her.

I woke up this morning crying.

Ruth was a mother to me. My own Mom died 25 years ago. It was like I had become whole again.

And now there is a hole in the world again.
