Thank you, Mary!! I loved hearing your experiences - so different, in ways, from my own, during the six years we shared our beloved Mom's presence in our homes. Of course, she abides forever in our lives and outlooks. You have a gift for recalling tiny yet significant, universal I believe, moments / vignettes from a caregiver's vantage. I may add a few of my own complementary recollections of this extraordinary Mom's waning years....

I always wonder if I will have the dignity and patience of my mother when faced with such obstacles.
