I haven’t heard bickerings in a while. I haven’t heard insults, nor have I heard put-downs from Mom. I like this. I understand why she’s stopped; She’s sick. We’re not sure what it is, but she is sick. The last thing we want in the household is more screaming and yelling. We don’t want to end up like those predictable movies on Lifetime and have regrets on hating one another. I wouldn’t like that, and neither does Mom. She wants the best and gives me the best. And all I want is the best for her.
