And so Valentine's Day is fast approaching, and I have already received
a gift. From my boss. She bought Roberta and me yogurt
coated raisins (she's very health conscious, you know). They were
very good! And since she was so sweet, I have decided to get her
something for that special day - The Perfect Man.
She has been single for 10 years and has no desire for a serious relationship, but I found HIM (she would like that, too. Health Information Management
acronym!)- in Walmart of all places. He comes in a box.
He's buff. He's chocolate. And I do believe he's perfect,
but not necessarily good for a lasting relationship...after all, one
good binge and he would be gone forever. But ah, the
memories...she might find those worth it. ;-)

The last few weeks have been full, so I tried to get a little caught up
on journals and email today. If I haven't been by, it isn't
because I've suddenly stopped reading for no good reason. My
mother's doctor told her last week that she needs dialysis.
Well...she has decided against it. She has fought to live for a
long, long time and she is tired...all we can do is accept and respect
her decision, and be with her while we can.
There is a lot I could write about her. How brave she is. What a
strong woman she has been. How she has become sweeter with
time...but I just can't eulogize her. Not now.

What a gift...
So sorry about your Mom. That must be a bit difficult for you to accept, but it is her decision, without a doubt. I hope you make some really beautiful memories in the time you have. Jae
I'm thinking of you and your mom with love. That sounds like the best man of all. Paula
we all make choices...we all have choices..my old therapist drilled that into my head, so mom will do what is right for her...roberta
I hope Roberta enjoys her "man"!
I am sorry about your Mom, but I really respect her decision and I think you guys are showing much love by allowing her that decision. It must be hard on all of you, and I hope you fully enjoy the time you have with her. Take care now!
