My mother lives close by (in Leonardtown) and we talk a lot. I'm her duty driver, too, so I get to take her places as well. She's always worried about imposing or interrupting something I would otherwise be doing. She's 82 and very, very active for her age - it broke her heart just yesterday to decide she's now too old to drive. (She hasn't driven in a year or so, but didn't really get down to it until yesterday.) I'm very lucky to have her here, and it's kinda neat to be old enough now that we understand each other very well. She's a wonderful friend and a great Mom.
I did get to tell her how much I loved her and she said her good-bye's to my two children. I miss her everyday and think of her all the time.
