We had the privilege, along with my sister, of hosting my mother for most of the month of December. We had a good time reminiscing about my dad, my grandmother and my growing up days. Mom is experiencing some memory problems, but still really enjoys being with her family. Below, Mom at eighteen and eighty-one.
We were able to do a little shopping, attend church every week and the Christmas concert, and also looked into moving Mom down to Texas from Iowa in 2010. We also hosted my brother Scott and his wife Jan for about ten days over Christmas.

It can be a difficult thing to grow old and my brother, sister and I count it a blessing to partner together to hopefully make my mother’s journey a little easier. We love you Mom!
