Was hoping it was going to be while I was still down here smileys/frown.gif
I've got their address, I'll send Merry a card. Who knows I may be back by then as mom is not doing well/is on hospice.

Can't get her to eat smileys/frown.gif Only twice so far I was sure she knew who I was. smileys/frown.gif
Thank you so much for your kind thoughts.
Today I am making her famous (to us) chocolate pie to see if she will eat some of that - because she said she would, but she won't remember saying that, so all bets are off.

I know it's such a heart-wrenching experience Maria. I had faith that my mom knew I
was there and could appreciate the flowers I was bringing and her special food favourites. She liked V8 juice so I stocked that with the nurses.
It is such a difficult disease to deal with, I really am sorry.

Thank you all for your kind thoughts and prayers...
I did actually have a nice "last" visit with mom - and it was a good day, she knew who I was.
I can't see her lasting long as she won't eat and is around 89lbs. They have her on hospice now. Plus, she doesn't initiate conversation - only responds if you ask something. I did show up with some homemade cheesecake and she spied it saying - can I eat that right now? So that was a shock. I wanted to make her recipe of chocolate pie, but the oven went haywire. When I told her she said, oh chocolate pie, been there, done that -- this is cheesecake! I love cheesecake! So she still has a bit of her sense of humor. smileys/smile.gif
