A night with mom

My mom lives in assisted living home about 10 to 12 miles away from me. She is not in great shape and it is odd to know she is in an assisted living home at the young age of 67.

Some nights when I go to visit her she falls asleep on me and other nights she only stays awake for so long before she is tired and wants to be alone. Some nights when I come by she is asleep while the TV is blaring in her room.

Tonight when I visited her she was awake and we talked for a while and watched CIS, which is one of her favorite shows. It was a good visit and one I will remember. It doesn't matter where I visit my mom or what condition she is in as long as we can talk and have a good time. Those are the memories that mean the most.
