Hi Wendy,
My thoughts are with you at this very difficult time. I too, have an aging mother, so I know how hard it is to let her go. We just need to hold dear all the great memories...Horses,riding lessons, 4-H club,The Fair, volunteer efforts, all the wonderful published articles your Mom wrote,etc. Through it all -growing up with 3 older brothers too - your Mom was always there for you. It's amazing how parents survived the "crazy high school years", Boys, bonfires etc. I am so happy that you are there for her to make the end of her life so comfortable and dignified and still let her call the shots. Please give your Mom a BIG HUG for me and thank her for sharing the "gift of horses" in my life.
