Thanks, nice of you to say, but she lived another 18 years. This all happened in her late 50's and she lived to 78.

After I sold her house I moved her up to Juneau, and gave her my house to live in and my new wife and I bought a condo close by. There are some inbetweens I won't get in to.

I let my younger daughter stay with her, which they both liked as they needed each other. She was so fragile at this time and riddled with arthritis my daughter could help her shop and do other things she needed and they got along really well.

And she gave my daughter a lot of freedom she liked and companionship-lol.

I of course was over there a lot as my house was only a couple of blocks away, and took care of whatever was needed, like mowing the lawn, etc.

What is sort of strange though is that as my mother raised my daughter really more than I did, she is sort of like my sister, as we were both raised by the same woman.

So both our views were shaped by her.

My mom was really special, so sweet.

I had a girl friend once who had a very difficult mom, and let my mom stay at her house on the way to Alaska and said:" I want Chuck's mom"-lol

That was so good of you to take care of her in her dying days

not all people are lucky to have someone do that for them
