the answer to the question!

Well, the jury is in and the answer to the question "Who's Crazy, Mom  or Me" is  ME!  Sure Mom is confused and "addlepated", but I am definitely the crazy one. 

Due to circumstances beyond my control, Mom has gone back to live at her home with my oldest brother and his wife.  She will be happy there, if for no other reason than that it is her home that she has lived in for the past 60 or so years.  My sister-in-law will take good care of her and my other siblings who live right there on or around the property will also.  My brother just younger than I is very compassionate and will always check on her and do whatever he can for her. 

It seems that this last week when Mike and I were trying to decide what to do, that  Mom just kept on and on about going home.  I took that as a sign.  I had been praying so intensely as to what I was supposed to do.  

 She always looked at her time with me as being in a facility..she couldn't get around the idea that this was my house.  She just knew that she was not at home.  I think that she enjoyed a lot of the things here, the big windows that she could look out and see the birds and the squirrels jumping from tree to tree,  she enjoyed watching the amaryllis bulbs grow and bloom.  She liked the things we did together, and just sitting and visiting.  She didn't remember it for very long :) but she enjoyed it at the time.. 

I will never regret our 10 weeks together.  Mom and I always had a special relationship and it was good to renew that. 

Every night after I helped her get into bed she always thanked me and Mike for taking such good care of her.  We said I love you and I turned out the light and slipped from the room.    So, this is goodnight to Mom and I love you.
