Hi Deb,
my husband and I have been through a similar experience when his mother decided at 88 years young to come home, after living many years in Florida. I think the only thing we can compare it to is that time in our lives when we dropped our children off at college and waved bravely goodbye. They thrived and we worried. Little did we realize that we would be doing it again, later in our lives, for our parents. "Ma" is playing "queen bee" to a bunch of little old ladies and a few men, and for the first time in her life is doing what she wants to if and when wants to. I know there's probably so much more yet for you to do, but take heart that your Mom's probably settled in quite well, and enjoying life more than she ever thought she would at her age. Take care, and try not to worry. Linda Posted by Linda Badgely D'Agostino to F-M Class 1966 at November 14, 2007 11:42 PM
