I share a similar bond with mine. I shudder at the thought that she would someday go away. But such is life. I am comforted by the fact that there's still time for me to make her life as close to being good as I possibly can. From your blogs, I take it that you had a great relationship with your mom. In this day and age, I think this is more than any mother can ever dream of. Be comforted that she had you. And be comforted also that she is in a better place now.

My regret is I could not do enough for Mum because of my condition. Even if I could, Mum would never have allowed me, for she was a very independent woman. In my heart, I know I did all that I possibly could, but that was just not good enough. Perhaps, this guilt is one of those phases that one has to go through after the loss of a very dearly beloved one. Thank you people, for lending an ear, and leaving words of solace to lift up my spirits. This means a lot to me.

I used to live somewhere near there. Yes, that is Mum carrying me. I must have been around two or three years old. Terry,
