my wonderful mother

Tweet

My mom is 92 years old and as spry as ever. She lives alone in her apartment in an elderly apartment building. She does her own cooking, cleaning and washing clothes. About 10 years ago she slipped on some ice and broke her ankle. She still has the pins in, they just didn't take them out. Now she has arthritics/ much pain, so has to get a cortisone injection. She lives in Alberta while I live in British Columbia. It is a two day trip to come to the island, then a ferry to cross the ocean. My brother brings her with him while he visits his son. At Christmas my mom was suppose to come for a visit but was sick so I suggested she go to her doctor which she did. My brother is coming back in April so mom will come along. Now that is terrific that a woman of that age will stay cooped up in a car for hours just to visit me. I love my mother very much. Of course when I was younger we didn't get along so well.
