Ed– Your mother's resilience should serve as an example to us all of what we might aspire toward. It is so easy to give up. And what waste giving up is! I came from a family of giving-uppers––my mother, father, brother, aunts, and uncles––and, in the end, each paid a terrible price. –Ray

Ray, my mom was a tough old bird. She started dialysis at 93 and when she was 94, she purchased a new microwave that came with a 2 year warranty. Not good enough. She asked if there was any way she could extend the warranty, you know, pay a little extra money for another year or two. Answer was no. I got a kick out of that and never forgot it. She lived one more year. That is the frame of mind she placed in me and I've placed that in our grown children. I tend to be stubborn, don't give up. I guess the apples don't fall far. Ed
