Misc. Notes
Zora really
was 113 in Feb and died in Nov, so she was almost 114. She was pretty much rolled up in a ball the last few years, her tongue had swollen too much to talk and I don't think she had the strength anyway.
The last time I saw her was August 2 that year. I told her to squeeze my hand if she could hear me and she sort of did, but just. She didn't move in the bed or even blink her eyes. It was too sad to accept. It broke my heart. I miss her every day.
