						MOTHER'S HELPER
After booking my 80-year-old mother on a flight from Florida to Nevada, I called the airline to go over her needs. The representative listened patiently as I requested a wheelchair and an attendant for my mother because of her arthritis and impaired vision. 
My apprehension lightened a bit when the woman assured me that everything would be taken care of. I thanked her profusely. 
"Oh, you're welcome," she replied. I was about to hang up when she cheerfully asked, "And will your mother need a rental car?"
