@dyslexia,
When my mom was dying, she was under care by a live in nurse. This was a time that we shared some really great memories and cried on each others shoulder.
My mom was one of those women like thepeople of the MAuri where, when an elder one became infirm they were taken up to a mountain to die. Theres a story that became a play about a woman whose son took her up to the mountain and all the way up, the mother was worried that the son wouldfind his way back home safely. That was the kind of woman my ma was. Everyone else came first and it was (sadly) only at the very end of her life did she and I share some really great quality time.
I hope you get a chance to do the same dys.
My thoughts also go to the Hamburgers.
