This past month has been very nice to have my Mom so close. As with each visit she is the target for an ever growing number of family members. This makes each moment more special since they have to be shared so often. She was in very good spirits for the entire trip despite catching a cold in the beginning.
But each time I see her I wonder as she leaves if it will be the last time. She is 79 and not in perfect health but not terrible with the parts of her that usually mean peril. I am glad for the moments we do get and still look forward to more.
This is what I mean when I say 'visiting means departures. A visit is by definition a short stay. Saying good-bye is never easy. I love you Mom.
