One year ago today my wife and mother in law were at the Kentucky Oaks, thanks to you guys. Today, my wife got a text from her Dad saying hospice thinks my mother in law only has a week or two left. She has been in hospice care for almost 2 months now, and has been steadily declining. We are hoping to make a trip in to see her next Friday for mother's day. I'm hoping she last's that long so my wife can say goodbye one more time.
I am very sad to hear of your family's loss. You shared some very special times with her over the past two years and her trip to Churchill Downs with you will be remembered the rest of your lives. May she now rest in Peace.

Did your wife make it?
She did! We arrived a little after 5 in the afternoon. She was pretty much non-verbal at this point, and really almost in a coma-like state. She saw that my wife was there though, and managed to give her a big smile. She died at about 12:15 peacefully that night.
@jwitten I did not open this thread last year, so I missed the excitement of your wife and mother-in-law at the race. I am certain your mother-in-law thought of that event often in the last year and I am equally certain she realized how much you love your wife to help make the trip possible. As your wife mourns her Mom, she has the memories you helped provide to assist her through this incredibly tough time.

I’m so very sorry about your tremendous loss. Too young.
She sounds like a beautiful woman, inside and out. I’m so happy she made it to Churchill Downs. Love the pic with Gary Stevens.
I hate cancer. My thoughts are with you and your family. Bless her heart.

Peace to you all.
