OK, something personal this time around.
My Mom turned 89 this past May.
She still lives alone and was laundering her sheets when she tripped and fell on them while remaking her bed.
Now, us siblings have long said she needs someone to live with her.
One of my younger brothers has been, but he also has a full time job, and can't be there full time.
So, another younger brother suggested we get her an "assistant." I reminded the siblings that, that will never work because Mom wants to remain independent.
(If your Mom is like my Mom, you understand.)
(Just to clarify, I have four brothers and three sisters. BTW: the Irish Catholic rhythm method doesn't work.)
Anyway, last week my sister, Susan, texted that Mom was in the hospital because she fell while making her bed.
My brother, Thomas, confirmed later that Mom broke 5 ribs but they weren't displaced. I guess that is the "Good News!"
The wife & I decided to send a 'Get Well' gift to my Mom.

As of Monday, my Mom was home and resting.
Since she lives in Massachusetts and we live in Las Vegas, there's probably a field trip over the holidays to visit her.
Hey!
Your Mom is your Mom regardless of your ages!
Get Well, Mom!
