You will be blessed to have your mother with you! It will be an adjustment for all of you - but in the end I trust you will find it to be a treasured experience. My FIL lived with us for 18 months before he died of cancer at age 86. I treasure that time - difficult as it was at times. We moved my mother in with us - two years ago - but my health issues and her declining health necessitated a move for her to Assisted Living close by. The initial move for her from her home state down to where we are was hard and the initial few months were a big adjustment. Prepare yourself knowing you'll have some days that will be harder than others...and be sure to take care of yourself :)Keep us posted.
