I often wonder what images my mother sees now, approaching 100 yrs on this earth? Does she see the changes in the world with a positive view or does she see us going backwards instead? It's hard for her to remember your faces and your names but as she told me last night, what she holds on to is her love for each of you - it's the love that she remembers, even when she can't remember your name, the love for you is there - forever. She said she holds on to that and the way she described it, it reminded me of someone clinging to a lifeboat in a big ocean, always aware you could be swept away at any second.
