There is a lot to take back from your post, ponder and learn something about life. I highly appreciate you and your family's efforts to fulfill your mother's wishes in the way she liked otherwise these days, even in India, proper respect to the elderly and old age care is hard to come by. She looks so beautiful in the picture you shared, I pray to God to keep her blessed always, I hope she gets well very soon.<br /><br />Sorry for being late here, been a bit busy for the past few days for blog-hops.

And she is fortunate to be cared for in familiar surroundings. I have heard too many stories from friends trying to find appropriate help for their parents.

We moved my mother from California to Florida (at her request) and she lived in an assisted care facility before she died of leukemia. She suffered from some memory loss but received wonderful care in her last years. Lois Anne is, we believe, free of cancer and we are grateful for that. She'll have additional scans the end of this month, but we feel they will show no further evidence of the disease!<br /><br />Your mother has been blessed with the loving care of her family. She is a beautiful woman and must be very proud of her children! The hospice system you describe is also a blessing.<br /><br />Thank you for these photographs of such beautiful flowers. They cannot help but lift one's spirits!<br /><br />Our best wishes for peace and joy!Lowellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15305748075301453010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2324653069160902634.post-67415270714779605882014-03-13T20:14:40.519+09:002014-03-13T20:14:40.519+09:00What a beautiful post mixing flowers and text abou...What a beautiful post mixing flowers and text about elders...Beautiful !!!<br />Have a nice day !<br />AnnaAnnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04774887724789015500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2324653069160902634.post-76252040180380709462014-03-13T11:08:49.459+09:002014-03-13T11:08:49.459+09:00Yokoさん こんにちは。

I didn't know that she was now sick. I am sorry. But I am very glad to know that you have found good hospice help. That is so very important. It is good to know your family is pulling together and working together to help your mother. I know how hard that is. Your mother is a blessed woman to have all your help and to be able to live and die with dignity.
