You wrote beautiful words about your Mother---similar to my Mother. My Mother left us not that long ago at age 95. Strong energetic smiling to the end. I am so glad your Mom was able to stay in her own home with her wonderful daughter and family helping out. <br />Bless you, Margy!!!<br />MBSmall City Sceneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12307313549480618415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35356005.post-73260311323534149102013-05-05T23:05:59.547-07:002013-05-05T23:05:59.547-07:00A beautiful tribute to your mom, Margy.

I'm so happy that you were there to help care for her and share your thoughts with her as she transitioned, I am positive that made everything much easier for her. <br /><br />I feel your loss and know how difficult it is. My thoughts are with you and your family. May your memories continue to bring you peace, and may the light that she was continue to shine through you. <br /><br />Many hugs and my sincerest condolences, Lise Lisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12431245561712781037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35356005.post-47008615787175406312013-05-04T22:40:50.963-07:002013-05-04T22:40:50.963-07:00This is a lovely tribute to someone who was obviou...This is a lovely tribute to someone who was obviously an amazing woman.

A good role model for a girl growing up in the 50s and 60s.<br /><br />Elaine - Thanks for the kind words. I tried to be there for her, but at times I think I could have done better. I am just glad we could spend so much time together at the end.<br /><br />Jennifer - I learned a lot from your book as I was just starting into the process with Mom. You helped me lots along the way.<br /><br />Linda - Thanks. Yes, she will be in my heart and mind right along side Daddy.<br /><br />Wendy - You are right, it's hard even though you know the time isn't far away. When that moment comes you aren't as prepared as you think you are.<br /><br />Thanks everyone for your kind thoughts and prayers. Wayne and I are enjoying some time in Mom's place in Bellingham before we head back to Powell River with Kitty Cat along for the ride.
