    My mom will be 89 in a couple of months and it’s so hard to watch her get so frail when her mind is still so sharp. I recently started recording her stories, like how she became a Univac programmer in the 60’s. I cherish every minute because I hear the clock ticking and it’s SO loud and never goes away. I’m going to miss my mom so much. It’s like my heart’s already breaking under the weight of losing her.

      Sounds like you’re kind of grieving in advance, which is natural and healthy so long as you channel it into something constructive like you are.

      Everyone’s parents will leave, yours is the best case scenario.
