Dear SallyThank you for the kind words.  Your Mum is lovely.  She is amazing.  She really is a Mum first.  She calls me just to find out if I am ok.  It really warms my heart.  Yes, she can be stubborn and uncooperative, but then again, who doesn't get those moments.  Lol. We all have our moments, don't we.  Through understanding her, we know how to deescalate and calm her down to ensure that by the time we leave, she is feeling better and happy again.  We all want to be happy but life gets in the way. doesn't it.  There is nothing more comforting than knowing that the person coming to me, understands me and they get me.  We all need that person.  It is a privilege to be that person to your Mum.  One again thank you for giving us an opportunity to care for your lovely Mum.
