Thanks for this Eleanor.. I want mom to see all her nice greetings. she had a "pity party" day. only two birthday cards (and one was mine) and no calls. It is tough getting old & neglected I guess... Her friends have either died or moved far away. Family is all having major problems of their own. Mom's body is problematic but her mind is very sharp. I guess that is the way I would want to be rather than the other way around.. a "feel-good" mobile vegetable brain
I guessed that this maybe the case for your mom that she may not have that many cards the same problem as dad in the hospital but thanks to the dosers he now has several messages and other cards in the post.
