Don,

Really touched to read that she gained her old self back after moving to HongKong, and how she adjusted from knowing no one in Placerville to the point of sharing her food with friends. You have a great mom and she is blessed with a long life and a bunch of great kids.

Don,
This is a wonderful tribute to your beautiful mother. I am sure that much of your intelligence, strength, empathy and support for others is from your mother and will outlast her in you. Your father also sounds strong and intelligent.

My own 91-year-old mother, now in a Vt. nursing home, has dementia, which is hard to bear in this beautiful former nurse. We only have phone contact and she does not always remember who my sister and I are. She has said that I am dead or “under water” in NJ. She broke her hip last Sunday and now, after surgery, does not seem able to hear on the phone.

I am sure that even though your mother may not recognize you, she does remember and love you at a deeper level.

Fondly,
Carolyn

Don,

Thanks for sharing and documenting this history of your mother, truly an amazing woman. Give thanks that she has had the determination to live a long life and that you will always have these great memories of her.
I’m sure your documenting this will be a treasure for your own descendants.

Dear Don,

Your personal tribute to your mother is both touching and respectful. Although both of my parents have passed, your words touched a flood of memories of my own parents. May god bless her and your entire family. Enjoy the holidays—-best wishes, Gene
