A vibrant,independant woman who is but a shadow of her former self so I do understand your feelings, fears and sadness. It is times such as these that one can be so thankful for what they have given to us and hope we can live our life the way our mom's had and have been doing.Birgithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09439720285857050428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6899735612882941996.post-50042968748426825262011-12-13T12:12:52.337-08:002011-12-13T12:12:52.337-08:00My mom is growing old as well and it scares me som...My mom is growing old as well and it scares me sometimes.Alex J.

My mom is 74 and she's slowed down a bit but still is lively and fun. What saddens me is to see effects of necessary pain meds for the worsening arthritis in her spine. It effects her memory some.<br /><br />She's a woman of strong faith which bolsters mine. I'm <i>very</i> thankful she's still here. As you say, give thanks for what we have and enjoy.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.siamckye.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Sia McKye's Thoughts...OVER COFFEE</a>~Sia McKye~https://www.blogger.com/profile/08470562659597351033noreply@blogger.com
