Re: Is it important for Mom to remember? Tonya, I can't take credit for saying to write things down, but I love the saying ' gift of presence'. It is so relevant for me now with Dad in hospital. Thank you for sharing that

Re: Is it important for Mom to remember? Thank you all for your gift of presence to you loved ones and to us here!
Thinking of you Ger and your Dad and family.....Saw your lovely photo in "off-topics".......
Sorry to whomever suggested writing things down - perhaps it was you Kate? Anyway please forgive me - my memory is weak....
Best wishes to all,
Tonya

Re: Is it important for Mom to remember? Oh, Tonya. There's nothing to forgive. It doesn't matter who comes up with an idea. It just matters where that idea takes each of us. I hope it is helpful to you and doesn't place a burden on you.
I don't know that I can express my appreciation of your words here and on other threads. You have been such a help to me.
Blessings.
Kate
