"It's hard to get old!" my mom's words said regularly. At 88 years old my mom does pretty well. She is limited in ways that comes with being up in years (hard of hearing, no longer driving, aches & pains, issues with short term memory...) but some things for her have remained the same. She is a great story teller, witty & has a knack for history & genealogy. Her faith in God is steadfast as well as her love for her late husband (my dad) who she misses daily. Her thoughts never stray far from her family and has such unconditional love for her 8 children & their spouses, her 22 grandchildren & their spouses & her 35 great-grandchildren! She is a remarkable woman & it is hard to see her age. But I am thankful for the time we get to spend together while she visits us in AZ from Iowa!! Love my mom. :-)
Mom holding her 34th great-child, Keelan yesterday. She adores him!
I know you cherish every moment you have with your mother!
ReplyDeleteGlad she made it to AZ this year. She really wasn't wanting to travel anymore.
