From my diary two years before, as I stepped into the shoes of health care agent:
Please help me to care for Mom,
to stay in the moment with her while getting her the health care she needs,
to keep her safe while supporting her independence,
to collaborate with the boys and all the rest,
to meet her needs as well as those of the others in my life, and
to stay right here, right now, while figuring out what’s next.
Thank you for helping us to help her.
Amen

how beautiful Terry. I will always remember your words and do believe that if the tree falls someone does hear it. Have you ever read The Giving Tree?
