You continue your care of your mother and her friends. It makes her feel good and in turn, you feel good too. Been there, done that. {nm} GruntNoNeck May 07, 15:29

it just makes you realize how lucky you are and think about where life takes you. how short it all really is. {nm} lobogotti May 07, 16:20

While the story is wonderful, the real point is how commendable you are. You should be proud. {nm} numbersix_99 May 07, 16:28

To paraphrase a line from kill bill vol 1, "Bob Layton is the man". {nm} eternal warrior May 07, 20:21

no way? Is that true? if so, that's quite cool. {nm} lobogotti May 07, 21:02

This could have been posted as "my mom lives in a home with a lady whose son is ..." BUT it wouldn't have been nearly as interesting! {nm} Rocket123 aka PVL Admin May 07, 20:39

I've always been a fan of detail in stories. I was hoping to relay that sometimes is good to slow down, listen and learn. lobogotti May 07, 21:07
