I know not everybody is so blessed, but I am thankful that I still have my dear mother here to talk to.
I shall be calling her shortly.

Love you, Mom.

Thank you very much all.

Its not easy to see your mom go slowly.
Of course she is at the age when you have to expect that and she had a good life.
She is in bed for over 3 years now and it slowly kills everybody to see this.
We are prepared but its still not easy and real life does the rest.

Sorry to hear about Blurf's mother as well.
I was hoping that this mother's day thread would be a bit more joyous.
But, the truth about having a mother is that we shall all lose her one day.

A kitty's blessing on all who have mothers that are in less than good health.
And the mothers as well, of course.

As I said, at my age of 59, I am very lucky to have my mother here with me, in very good health for her age, and still working at a nursing home to help others who are not so blessed.
