Sorry to hear about your Mom. Glad that most days are good. I was the primary caretaker for my Mom until she passed. She had dementia, but she always knew who I was and I never had to worry about her roaming.
I don't think it's been mentioned, but one of the best books I read in the last couple of years was "The Shack" by William Young. I also enjoyed the "Cat Who" Mysteries by Lillian Jackson Braun.
