It's pretty hard to take it all in. She could live on for years, but the recent changes just make you question a lot.

My mother did not expect to make it our annual 4th of july reunion, she went, and had a blast. all her estate affairs were completed, all the insurance stuff for my dad is handled, now she is just, as she says "waiting to die" I took her on a floatplane trip to victoria about a month ago and her mind seemed to be in a much more positive state. I can't sit there and say she'll be OK. It's a very uncomfortable situation..
