Sharing some alligator love. So glad to see there is some light in you and your situation.

My mum had her first dose of chemo on the 14th of July, and last week I had the privilege of my mum reaching out to me on one of her very bad days. So with my mum crying and distressed from pain and nausea, dressed in only a towel from an attempt to get ready for the day and not quite managing it, I was able to care and love her through a difficult moment in her life.

I remembered the time when she got on a plane and brought back to to Auckland when I was feeling suicidal and when Mr Ex couldn't handle it and ended our relationship. She sat with me for days drinking coffee with me, in the sunshine, while I cried and cried for that first week back in Auckland. Last Wednesday, getting her dressed, back into bed and making her a cup of tea and making her food and giving her some tlc for the day, didn't seem like a lot.

Yay for mom's Zues!

I'm coming to Chicago in November, maybe WE could find an alligator there, I am sure they have them. Otherwise I have a friend in Florida who, WE could visit sometime, who definitely knows some good spots for them!! wink
