I canÌ¢âÂã¢t believe it is four years since I wrote the tribute to my Mom, wishing her a Happy Mother's Day, and three years since my update. She has long recovered from her fall and broken pelvis, with a few more falls since then (luckily with no more rehab stays required). She continues to go for Ì¢âÂÒshots in the eye,Ì¢âÂå which has kept her vision somewhat stable.
She was able to attend her two granddaughters' weddings, my niece Elinor's (in July 2013), and my daughter Jodi's (in July 2014), and meet her first great-grandchild (ElinorÌ¢âÂã¢s first son). She was able to attend two Passover Seders in my home, with her son-in-law (my husband) David, my husbandÌ¢âÂã¢s family, her son Steven and his wife Hope, and many of her grandchildren.
Her eldest son, Yehuda, and his daughter Elinor, will be visiting her in June to let her meet her second great-grandson.
The unfortunate turn of events is that my Mom has lost a lot of weight, and has lost her will to live. She is 89 years old and says Ì¢âÂÒ90 is enough.Ì¢âÂå Her 102- year-old roommate passed away last week. I keep trying to give her things to look forward to, like her grandchildren visiting, the possibility of more great grandchildren, or another wedding.
I will be celebrating Mother's Day one day early with my Mom, because I, now, need to help my Mother-in-Law, as well.
