This story about my moms passing may need a set up. If you remember the movie Rocky a championship fight is 15 rounds. And moms pick for the greatest all time champion boxer was Joe Louis, not Muhammad Ali (he was #2). I was with her as the hospice worker changed her sheets and sponge bathed her, quite an ordeal. When the hospice worker left Mom said why did you let her do that, you are supposed to protect me? I said it had to be done, but she did look like she went ten rounds with Joe Louis. I went 15 she said proudly, and she wasnt talking about the hospice worker. Yes you did Mom, you went the distance.
