Re: My Mother Is Having (Scary) Surgery Next Week
Karen, you have my sympathy. My Mom lives in Phoenix and I live in PA. She is 89 and is starting to fail but she refuses to move in with any of her 3 daughters. I love her so much and I call her at least 3 times a day. I will be praying for your Mom and for you. I hope the surgery goes well and she will heal quickly. Best wishes. Mary L
