I was able to celebrate Mother's Day earlier this week when my mother was able to come to my home for lunch. I was so excited to have her see where I live and we enjoyed a couple of hours together before she had to leave. My cousin Don came home from school on his lunch hour and played some old tunes on the piano for her and she smiled like I haven't seen her smile in a long time. It seems the older and more frail she gets, the more I see the mother of my youth in her eyes. I am flooded with emotional memories and I find myself in awe at all she has endured as a widow for the past 22 years. I am a lot of who I am today because of her. I love you, mom - more than you will ever know.

I'm so glad that Grandma got to leave and come see your awesome new home! We'll have to do that again when I come up in July.
Love you!
Awwww Grandma Zauss - miss you. :)
I understand completely with what you wrote. My spunky Grandma Sue who has always been a youthful Grandma has recently gone down hill in just months. Early stages Alzheimers and she stopped taking her diabetic insulin for 2 months without telling anyone. She's coming to visit me and Ben in June which is a miracle in itself. I am enjoying every moment I can with her. :)
