Thanks again for reading my story and giving me feedback, you're the best!

I have been there with my parents who both passed away in 2005. I took care of my Dad for years shuffling him back and forth on two-hour drives to spend the afternoon at the VA hospital. He was treated for a condition that he got at 18 years old during WW II, and for his hearing, for his teeth, for his eyes, and for skin cancers that routinely popped up on his face. But you know what, that was probably the best time we ever spent together, we were both adults and there were no parent-child walls between us. I talked to him many times more during those trips than I ever talked to him when I was living at home, and we were always close. But it is hard to find time to talk to someone who works 3 jobs, and me having school and after-school sports activities. The cancer finally spread, and my Dad didn't last long after that, Three months later Mom passed away from a massive heart attack while in the hospital for tests

What I'm trying to say is that even though this may be very difficult for you and I'm sure that it will add some stress to your life, you can still use the time wisely and try to have as much quality fellowship with your Mother as possible. I don't know what your relationship is with her, my wife and her Mother have always had a strained relationship, mainly because they are too much alike. But whenever her Mother gets sick or is struggling with something, who do you think she calls? That is because deep down her Mother knows who loves her and who will advocate for her proper treatment.

Anyway, I will pray for you and your Mother, I'm sure that all will work out. This is the part of life that we all dread and we all must deal with at some point if we live long enough. You are a strong woman, it will be okay.
