She lives 5 hours away, so at least I can get up there every few weeks, but it's hard because I have 3 kids and I can't get away as often as I'd like. I pray that both of our mothers are able to enjoy this Christmas, and the next as well. Take care.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8936422164094378509.post-29856611872016426852007-12-19T10:13:00.000-06:002007-12-19T10:13:00.000-06:00I know it's hard, but you will be thankful for thi...I know it's hard, but you will be thankful for this time. When my grandmother was dying of lung cancer, it pained me to see her struggle to walk across the room. She had always been an active strong woman, and she could no longer catch her breath. However, cancer was a blessing in disguise. My mother and grandmother had a strained relationship at times. In the last months of her life my grandmother confessed some of the reasons she had been angry, they were more about my grandfather than my mother. My parents were able to make peace with my grandmother, and we all knew she died knowing we loved her. We were given time to tell her.<BR/><BR/>My own mother could not shop last year, because of her chemo. She loves to Christmas shop so it was tough on her. But it was also nice to have a chance to give back to her. We all pitched in with the shopping & cooking. I think we showed her we had learned some things from her, and that's what moms want.amwursthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12321314868209157832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8936422164094378509.post-69600908956213114322007-12-18T19:25:00.000-06:002007-12-18T19:25:00.000-06:00Even though that is good news about your uncle, I ...Even though that is good news about your uncle, I totally understand the thoughts, fears and jealousy that comes along with that.
