It sounds idyllic and like you have a wonderful wife.
Of course you couldn't kick your mother out, so much easier to spend time with and take care of her if she's there. I moved my mom in with me (I have a small 3 bedroom ranch on a slab, lucky you and her, she has her own floor), when she couldn't live on her own anymore. Trying to clean out her house and unload it in the market was a pain in the ass.
I'm so glad we had the time together before she passed. I feel like, she took care of me when I was young, so I, in turn, took care of her when she got old. I think the Japanese have this same philosophy.
We live in a disposable world and people just throw away their aged parents, it's really sad. Mom may not have died in her home but, at least, she didn't die in a nursing home (one of her greatest fears). I know that made her (and me) very happy.
My Mother is very important. She's royalty around here and will always be treated with utmost respect and love. No financial discussions with her was a rule I laid down when my father passed.
She is always going to be protected by me.
I don't care if she has a million dollars. I want her alive and cared for no matter what.
She's my Mother. I would die for her long before I asked for a dollar. I love her beyond belief and she raised me in Europe and the USA. I don't care about money. I just care about her health and longevity.
She raised you well. You're a good son, Wil! But I'm sure, she (and your wife) tell you that all the time.
Thank you. I know I am though. I believe in two things:
All of my White Family and White Brothers and Sisters
