Thanks for the kind words. I do hope there is someone out there. From what I have read, you have good reason to Gloat. Amber seems like quite a treasure.
To Amber - Mom is 88. Her attitude when she found out about her cancer was that at her age, something was going to get her. I was impressed. No, she's not in pain and while the cancer is still there, it seems to be dormant with no change in it since last August. Of course, she's got some of the other problems of that age including early Alzheimers and vision problems. That doesn't add to the quality of life. I do thank you very much for you very kind thoughts.
