She says to appreciate what Mom CAN do now, not what she can no longer do. My friend reminds me that as Mom continues to live on, which we sincerely hope she does, we will likely look back on these days as being the good ones. I was explaining that it took Mom the longest time to walk across our living room to make it to the dining room for dinner. Of course she was using a walker. My friend said I should be thrilled Mom could do this, wants to do this and actually was able to do it eventually because as time goes on we'll probably say something like, "Remember when Mom came to dinner and was able to still walk across the room. Those were the good old days!" We have to appreciate "what is" and do our best to cherish the moments. I have equipped our house with safety equipment, walker, wheelchair and personal items from www.wendyswalkers.com where I buy things she needs online and get them delivered home. That way I don't have to waste time shopping, I save money and a lot of time. Every little bit helps to keep MY stress down. There is only so much time in the day so I do what I can to stay centered, appreciative and loving. I can relate to so many of the comments on this blog. My last airline trip with Mom was similar to one described here. It was at the time so difficult with the wheelchair, bathroom use and everything else that goes with traveling. Bringing my babies along years ago was comparatively simple. But now a year after my last trip with Mom I look back on it with thankfulness that I was able to bring her to visit her older sister while she was still alive. Yes, it was hard but in the big picture well worth it. Good luck to all of us. A dear friend whose mother recently passed gave me good advice that I always keep in mind when losing patience with Mom.

Dear SinZ and TattoZ,
If you open your eyes see yourself in a mirror, this structure has been existing here only because the parents gave birth to you. All your achievements and service could not have been possible with out them. It is the foremost duty of any child to take care pf the parents until they breathe their last and also later to keep the good traditions to be kept continued and any bad traits to be modified later forgetting any old hatred and anguish on some friends or relatives.
