I know how you feel. My sisters and I took turns caring for our mother during the last 2 years of her life. Due to a series of ministrokes, she had become like a small child, a very sweet small child, who needed to be groomed and dressed.

Caring for her became a blessing instead of a burden, as it became a bonding time, a time for me to return, in small measure, some of the nurturing she had given to me over the years. And my mother had been a very, very devoted mother to her nine children.

It was 7 years ago, May 1, that she passed on to her reward. She would have turned 95 that June. Miss her very much.

May our Blessed Lord watch over you and your mother.
