Mothers

[poliphilo]

My mother says, "My life is being taken away from me. It's horrible." She's pushing to do as much as she can for herself- which is good. She's also pushing to cancel the installation of a downstairs shower- which is bad.

We're going home for a few days. I need the break. Ailz would rather stay in Kent because going home means having to send time with Dot.

Sympathies. I get similar from my Dad, though he's going in the opposite direction and seems to think he's going to die next week. Unfortunately -- or fortunately, depending on which way you look at it -- there's really nothing terribly wrong with him and though he's 92, he could live for years yet.

Thanks.

My mother is 92 as well. She's pretty plucky and upbeat most of the time.
