Last night my mom told me that she was completely freaked out. I laughed and asked her why... This is the story she told me.......
After grandma died, she and Aunt Carol cleaned out grandma's cabinets. Okay, two days ago, she went in to make a peanut butter sandwich.. The peanut butter was the jar grandma had, and it only had MAYBE a tablespoon left. She looked on the lid.... 211...
All the what ifs keep running through her head... WHAT IF.....What if it wasn't the flu? What if we'd known sooner? What if it really was the peanut butter? Then I mentioned...WHAT IF this had NOTHING to do with it?
It's like I told mom, we can't go back in time. Besides... Do you have ANY idea how angry grandma would be if we could bring her back? She'd be saying "Why did you do that?" I could just see her saying "Let me be. I'm having fun."

Your mom shouldn't worry about it. I have a jar of peanut butter with the 2111 on it and it is almost 3/4 of the way gone. I'm going to go ahead and finish it. If I were going to get sick from it, I would have been sick before now. I don't think EVERY jar of that peanut butter was contaminated. Now, if mom's peanut butter had only about a tablespoon left, she'd been eating it a looong time. After all, she was the only one eating a whole jar of peanut butter. Obviously, I don't know the EXACT reason she died, but she did have other issues unrelated to her stomach, and that was the original reason I took her to the doctor. It really is entirely possible that she caught the flu bug but it is also entirely possible that that strong antibiotic made her sick. Who knows? Yep, now that she's gone, I could never wish her back!
