Welcome Lovesmycats,
Thank you for sharing your very personal joy and tragedy. You must get a tape recorder and record all that you can of your mom's stories for your children. That's the one thing my boys have said they wish I'd done with my Granny, but we didn't know. You have time and opportunity with your mom and God Bless you for being happy to care and share with her. To many don't nowadays.
You will never lack someone to help you from now on, you just joined the easiest and the "bestest" group. We love to share, ideas, opinions, joys, sorrows, pictures, and even "how-to " emails. Couple of us have web cams so you never know where we'll go with it if anyone desires to work via camera. :lol:
Hugs to you and your mom, Loves,
Sharon
