Sad night, tough times

It is late and I don't want to go to bed. It is now early Sat. morning, but tonight, Fri. the Phils lost in the playoffs.
I am a big boy and I can handle this, but as some of my Senior Sizzle friends know I am caring for my sick mom. The sad part is my mom watched her last Phillies game tonight. I don't remember her being a big fan when I was a , but like my great grandmother, my grandmother and an older woman in the neighbor hood that I cared for a few years back, they all became very loyal fans.....
The night was happy, I flew my in from out of State and we are having a family get together tomorrow, but like the Phils game, it will be her last....
I am blessed to have this time with my mom, as trying as it is, but it is killing me emotionally a little each day...
If anything good can come from a divorce, being free to step in and be here for my mom is one of them..
I am told in the end I will feel great for doing what I am doing.. Couldn't prove that by me just yet.....

 It's hard, but take comfort in the fact that she raised a son with the inner strength to endure, and the love to care for her the way she cared for you. As a parent isn't that what we want for our children? To know that they're strong enough of character to shoulder the hard times and get through them? Cherish these times. When I lost my mom 2 years ago, I kept beating myself asking could I have done more? I know now that I did everything a daughter could have done, although I still ache when I think of her. I know wherever she is, she's happy, and proud that I was there giving her of my strength in those last days, just as I know your mom is proud of you.

Thank you V. as you know my dad passed since I wrote this post and I have had a full plate, but it is a little easier to know friends like you give me support and respect.

 such tough times.. I can relate, 2 years ago we had our last halloween bonfire at my MOm's she passed away 2 days later.
I also can remember sitting there watching my Dad's basketball team IU with him knowing it would the last tourney game he would ever see.
