Looking back

Looking over my collection of videos and pictures of Mom, I found this short video made on my cell phone.

Mom and I are at the Country Buffet. It's a message to Bill, who had visited her in Asotin earlier in the week.

I shot this video on the Saturday before her first chemotherapy appointment. She and I were to drive up to Spokane the next day, and the day after that, Peg and I would take her to her first infusion session. She was anxious about the chemo, wondering what it would be like.

When I found the video, I was in Mom's Hospice House room with Peg and Bill. I showed it to both of them, and they immediately recognized it as a wonderful example of Mom's great character. If something mattered to one of her children, like a lost sock for example, it mattered to her. Even anticipating her own chemotherapy didn't obliterate her children's concerns from her mind.

What a great woman she was! Enjoy, and I hope you can hear the audio.
