God bless your Mom, and sorry for your loss. Luckily my sister and I (the only children) agreed on a course of action. Mom spent her last seven months in a beautiful assisted care home that at $7,000 a month was well worth the money. And it was thanks to the way Mom raised us to be successful that we were able to afford it. She was very content until the end, even voting for Palin and sneering at the Obama inauguration.

Well that’s just beautiful you could do that for her.

I was fortunate to be with my mom when she died...everyone else had left earlier on...though the Dr. had said he didn’t expect she would make it thru the night...and she didn’t.

She and I had some touching smoments before she passed on...even though she was seemingly half here and half in another world. Being a nurse she knew the stages of death...was always looking at her fingernails to see if the signals were there yet.

I wouldn’t trade those last moments for anything. It was she and I... and the Lord.
