 Av> Over here in New Zealand today (May 14) is Mothers Day.

Same as in the U.S. - Happy Mothers Day to all the Moms in bbSland!!

 Av> My mum is 80 and in poor health having been battling dementia for the
 Av> last few years. She went into a rest home offering hospital level care
 Av> six months ago to this day.

My mother, in her late 7os, just went into a nursing home last week. After a major stroke my sister took Mom in for 3 years... but it got too hard for her to manage. [Mom needs 80% help with... everything.] I sent flowers and spoke with her... my brother is taking her out for lunch and the like, but UGH... Mom was always a bull. I just know she dislikes this new chapter. I need to get my arse out to Ohio.

 Av> Dementia is a rotten disease, it robs a person of there essence and you
 Av> are left with someone who is a former shadow of themselves :(
 Av> 
 Av> This will likely be my last Mothers Day with my mum alive. I consider
 Av> myself fortunate to have had the chance to connect with her again today
 Av> and indeed to have had such a wonderful, kind and caring mum during my
 Av> lifetime on this Earth.

I hope yer wrong, Avon, but am glad that you got to convey with her on this Mothers Day... keep yer hope up; you got this Mothers Day. Cheers, sir.
