You've given your mom a generous gift — some tough love to help her with a transition that I bet she's very grateful for before long.

A bold, brave, hard transition indeed.

Rough, right? Thanks Angie.

I always gain something to ponder when I read your Afterthoughts. Everything you've written about taking care of your Mom, transferring her world to her new home, is both personal and universal.

I loved the picture of her in the jeep, baseball cap on, facing backward to watch that magnificent elephant, and seeing her profile in the side mirror... What a great photo!

Hope I can follow her example!

You did such a good and thoughtful job of moving your Mother Ashley. Her new home looks so much like her former one and will be a wonderful comfort for her.

I love reading your thoughts.
