I just found this thread and had a good cry myself! I hope you both truly enjoy joining your creative juices together. Your mother has "the eye" for color and composition, she would have made a wonderful artist, or was she? May you both be blessed with many more productive years together. I just lost my "mom" at 95 yrs old, feisty, creative, gifted in several art mediums, reader of novels (faster than I could), loved a good discussion about politics, sports (football, tennis, golf, basketball) and an awesome caregiver. She watched C-Span and sports while she did her "creative thing."
