It has been a bittersweet visit. My mother's health has been on a gradual, yet significant decline for the past few months, including 2 or 3 serious health events. One of these happened early last week, which is what prompted this visit. Each time something happens, we never know if she'll recover...though recover is a strong word, she never really recovers, she just comes back enough to know she is still in there, but her quality of life is poor these days. I won't go into details, but it is very hard to see her in this condition. I'm glad I went this week, it was hard, but I'm glad I went. We all wonder if it'll be the last time I see her alive. I'm still processing that thought and what that really means...
On the bright side, M has been a great traveling companion! She is pretty tired (though currently not sleeping) and seems to have had a good time. She has been practicing her walking and is now almost a pro! Dad, N, the nanny and the housekeeper will be very impressed by the tutoring I did! The photos are stolen from my sister from FB:
