There is a story about Aunt Ernestine - My mom wanted to see her sister. So we took off for Albuquerque, New Mexico. We arrived on a Wednesday and visited all afternoon with her. Mom and Ernestine sitting with their feet on their walkers holding hands. It was very touching. They were really glad they got to see each other.

We left and returned home.

Saturday they called and told us that Aunt Ernestine had died. I am so glad that I took the time to take my mother out to see her sister for 1 last time.

Commitment

Now it is my turn, my pleasure and my commitment to be there for her and with her, whatever it takes.

I'm just here!

READ this beautiful blog: I'm Just Here

This is the blog that is written by a very good friends wife. He sent me a link and I thought I need to write a blog for my mother. The writing will not be as beautiful as the ones on "Remembering for Mother" blog, but it will still let the family read of my adventures in taking care of my Mom..
