This fifteen-syllable poem, With Love, has the proper formatting and should be read by everyone except your mom, who may like to see something more upbeat.

Thank you Bill! Lol. No, she won't see this one! This is my self-talk, trying to prepare myself for the reality, as I watch her declining now. I'm sure she'll have a lovely birthday (and I hope she will remember it for at least a week!)

Thank you Tom. Lovely review. (She is declining now, becoming quite deaf, and very forgetful, and limited mobility.)

Thank you very much for your lovely review. Yes, it's necessary to be realistic, but such events as birthdays remind us with a bit of a punch, of the facts of our mortality.

Nice, and lucky you Wendy there aren't too many out there who get to enjoy a parents 94th birthday, that is a great innings indeed. Let's hope there are still more to come friend.

Several months back, I lost my grandmother who was in her early nineties. Even if it is somewhat expected, it is always a surprise. Enjoy your time with your mother. Happy birthday to her, and best wishes to you both.

Thank you Jessi. You are right. We can try to prepare ourselves, and try to be realistic, but it will always be a shock. I appreciate your review.

Wendy:
You are so fortunate to still have your mom. Don't cast dark shadows over joyous occasions even when facing the inevitable. None of us know how much time we have left with our loved ones. loved the picture to go with your bittersweet 15-syllable poem.

Thank you very much for reviewing. Appreciated. No, no shadows being cast. She'll have a happy day. I'm just trying to be realistic with my self-talk, as I see her winding down significantly now - although one can never really prepare for this.

Happy birthday, Wendy G's mom! I'm sure she will appreciate anything you do for her. I miss picking birthday cards and Christmas sweaters for my mom. She was a sarcastic delight. This is truly bittersweet knowing that time always comes to an end with those we love. Hope she enjoys her special day. Gretchen

Thank you Gretchen. Yes, I hope she has a wonderful day. I am trying to be realistic with myself, although one can't really prepare, and it's always a shock, even though expected.

Please give your mom a hug from me. I do understand on the 21st. my mom will be 91. Like you, I know she's getting older, but I am not ready to say goodbye. Sending love and prayers.
