Gladys

I received a call from June this afternoon. She told me my former mother-in-law passed away yesterday in Midland. She had fallen and broken her hip. And with her brittle bones, she never recovered.

Life dealt Gladys some pretty shitty cards, and it seemed like she could never really catch a break. In the many years that I knew her, she may not have been the most joyful person to be around, but she was supportive when and where it counted.

And if I know her, she is not going gently into that good night. Rest in peace, Gladys.

June - if you're reading this - I'm so sorry to hear about your mom. I can only imagine she was one tough cookie!
