A visit with my mom

One of the things that has been so hard on my mom is not seeing my kids.  She certainly hasn't been up to it though, and she even told me at one point that my kids had to see my dad so ill for so long, and she didn't want them to have to go through it again.  Although we had stopped to see her briefly in June, it really hadn't been since April that she had been able to visit with them.  Since she was feeling so well last week and this week was going to be the beginning of the final chemo (along with the fact that kids start school next week) I decided that we would journey up yesterday.  We were there a little less than two hours, and I allowed the kids to visit while I did a massive round of cleaning.  I know that it did everyone good (including myself) to be able to have that visit yesterday.  Hopefully in just a few weeks she'll really start to feel strong again and we'll be able to have more visits!
