Yes, my mom is better as of today. I have learned tons from her, both negative and positive. I don't want to stuff my emotions like she has over the years, but I do want to be as tenderhearted.

I lost my mom years ago and I would give anything to have had the honor to care for her in her golden years. You're a good daughter whose heart is in the right place. I'm guessing you learned a lot from your mom. I hope she's feeling better real soon. Hi Lori - I read this and my heart went out to your mom.

Hi Writer Dad, I'm so glad your grandparents gave you such an insight into aging! I had two grandmothers who committed suicide -- one early in life, one very late in life -- not the best kind of message or heritage to leave a family, eh? Hi Evelyn, Lots of people don't realize the lessons we leave as we grow older. My husband and I have learned a depth of love, patience, and humor that we could have never found if we didn't care for my mom. Hi Diane,
