I loved it so much and felt so connected to my Mom without her there that I have decided to make the small town I visited part of her retirement plan. I am going to take her there within a couple of months and try to settle her into a condo and new life. I will print your post and keep it in my wallet for inspiration, truthfulness and to help me respect all that she has given to me.

For me, I see it as valuable not just for myself, but as something I could offer my mother as we work to find a balance we have never held. I agree Rick, that number 7 is the kicker. I will be brave and state that that becoming a parent illuminated the ways in which my mother has been unable to love me, and so now things such as this strive list give me tools and thoughts that might allow me to parent her without negatively impacting how I parent myself and my child.

I never fully understood how much my parents loved me until I experienced that unbounded love for our boys. Here's to hoping that you come back from Mexico - soon, we miss you! #7 is the kicker for me.
