I also take note she passed right after your birthday...she stayed, in other words, for just one more...

Yes, I believe she held on for a couple more days for my BD. Makes total sense with who she was. You mention the life cord- I was holding her when she died and upon her last breath, I felt a sharp pain right under my navel. The umbilical/life cord was severed between us at that very moment, I believe. It was different with my Dad, but we were close also. Yes, I was blessed with her (their love)love and never doubted it. Something I know that others do not have the pleasure (and joy) of knowing.
