My Mom and I at the Mt Washington Hotel (c) 2007. See is now in an assisted living facility in MA and has been diagnosed with the conv10 virus. I cannot even go see her as the place is in lockdown. I was able to speak with her on the phone yesterday and she did not sound well and wondered why I was not coming to see her. This is breaking my heart...
I am so sorry- so so sorry. I don't understand how some consider this all a hoax.

Thank you for the chance to honor the most important person ever in my life. I think about my childhood and I often have to cut myself off thinking about all the great memories that she was directly responsible for. We’re slowly losing her to Alzheimer’s and it saddens me to think she’s losing all of those memories that have sustained me through difficult times. Well sorry everybody, didn’t mean to bum you out. I choose this day to remember all the good times.
So understandable, Rod. Yes, think about the very special, day by day good times. She is part of who've you have become.

This is my beautiful Mom, Doris Emily, and chubby me taken on the farm in 1951. Mom had a hard life as a dairy farmer's wife, but was always there for the family and instilled independence in the 8 kids. The dog is Rusty Nucks because I could't pronounce Rusty Nuts.
WHat a wonderful picture and memories, Bonnie.

While cleaning out and re-organizing photos, I came across this picture of my mother. She was a beautiful woman inside and out and had artistic flair. She did so many things: sewed constantly, made our clothes, would take dated outfits apart and update them, cooked and baked. She held the fort while dad was away working. Quick witted, she was loved by all. Mom didn't learn to drive until I was in high school - it was excruciating for her and having Dad for a teacher was a disaster so she went to driving school. She got her license and advocated for us kids when we became driving age, "Bob", she would sternly admonish (something she rarely ever did), "these kids aren't going through what I did. They will get their permits and learn to drive!" My husband says he married me because he fell in love with my Mom.

Other Moms: The first photo was taken in 2017 when I trekked for gorillas in Rwanda. This was the newest infant at 6 weeks old in the Volcanoes National Park and we were the first to visit. The second photo is from September 2018 taken in the Okavonga Delta, Botswana.

Touching tribute to a beautiful....."Mom"! I remember my mother getting her driving license when I was about 11 & then about 3 weeks later driving us from MA to Novia Scotia, Canada to visit her Mom.

Lovely lady...sounds like an early abolitionist-Good for her...Same thing in our family with driving! My mom never got her license but drove the car when my dad had too much to drink! It was a big joke for my sister and I!
