Kudus dlzxlsx! That's noble of you to have your Mom live with you. Not everyone would choose to do this, they'd rather put her in a nursing home. The desire to be helpful and useful is amazingly admirable. It looks like you took after her. Hey, that's genetics and a result of proper upbringing, kudus to your Mom, too. But, with age, bodily processes start to decline. We just have to be patient and grateful for what we have and remember that sooner or later, we'll be getting there. Happy holidays. my friend.

Kudus, dlzxlsx! It's noble of you to let your Mom live with you. Not everyone would choose to do this, they'd rather put her in a Nursing home. Strength of character is an asset and the desire to be helpful and useful is admirable, I think you took after your Mom, hey, that's genetics and a result of proper upbringing. But, with age, bodily processes, decline. We just have to be patient and grateful for what we have and bear in mind that sooner or later, we'll get there. Happy holidays, my friend.
