My mom's health was failing, there was no doubt about it. I got to enjoy two weeks with her and I enjoyed every minute of it. She was in the Nursing Home to do therapy - to recover from her back 'surgery'. She worked so hard at OT and PT - diligently doing as the therapists asked her to the very best of her ability on any given day. I was so proud of her and how hard she worked. She had good days and bad days while I was there...but she always had a positive attitude and most days, a smile.

The day I left (May 10) I got a call at 6 a.m. saying my mom wasn't doing well. My brother, sister-in-law and I went to be with her and she ended up being put on oxygen. It was a rough few hours, but ever the trooper, she pulled through....and I headed back to Phoenix feeling good about the time I had with her, yet knowing it was probably the last.
