That is truly a beautiful tribute. I wish there were a way I could get back into Daily Reflections and post it for you. Your mother sounds so vibrant and I know she still is; she is just elsewhere now and her mind is bright and clear. I am thankful for both of you that she did not have to go through the end stages. May the coming months treat you gently with good memories. The most wonderful thing to keep in mind is that You Loved Her, loved them both... and Love does Not die. fran Robert Fulghum: I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge -- myth is more potent than history -- dreams are more powerful than facts -- hope always triumphs over experience -- laughter is the cure for grief -- love is stronger than death.

Glenn, My condolences, but it certainly sounds like your mother enjoyed life to the hilt. Your words were a wonderful tribute to her and comment on her life.

Glenn, I'm so sorry to hear about your mother. I'm not sure exactly why you're not on the Reflections list. It seems as though you were at one time. I would like for you to be on the list, so I'll add you unless you don't want that. Fran is posting the reflections for this month, so I'll have to send her a new set with your name on the list. Would you like Marie to be on the list as well? I assume yes, so I'll add her too. I'm leaving tomorrow for Ohio, so this is my last chance to do it. If you don't want to be on the list, tell Fran so she can fix it back.

"She greeted every morning with the words “I’m Alive!” Every day was a new adventure" what a beautiful person. the health aide told me the other day most people who are restricted to bed get to be very difficult to care for. Their whole world becomes them, their concerns and puts a lot of pressure on caregivers. our prayers are with you and your family.

Glen, your mother has found peace, moreover she must have been a truly remarkable individual to boast an amazing son, such as yourself who cherished and saw to her every need in her aging years. God rest her soul, as well as granting you the knowledge that you did all a loving and devoted son could. On this upcoming Mother’s Day I will say a special prayer for you and your mother. God Bless

I've probably posted this before but your mother passing brought it to mind. My father died in December in 1983, a week later my mother had a stroke and went to a nursing home. We moved her stuff to my house. She had a sensitive plant for 20 years and the thing never bloomed and we stuck in the master half bath. 2am in March I get a call that my mother had died, wife went into the bathroom and the plant was in full bloom. Next morning that plant was deader than my hopes and dreams.

Glenn, I was so sorry to hear about your Mother. But the tribute you wrote again brought tears. ANY Mother anywhere, would be so happy knowing she had a child (and a grown child at that!) that really cared so much! My Mom died of Alzenheimers as well....it is a nasty disease, but we all know she is at peace now..... This thought is so very wonderful! She greeted every morning with the words “I’m Alive!” Every day was a new adventure for her, even though some of those days included periods of anxiety and fear. She loved fresh flowers and she had reached a point in her life where every cookie was the “best cookie I have ever eaten.”
