Life, and illness, are not fair.
I lost my father nine months ago.
Ten days ago a schoolmate of my younger daughter was taken by Childhood Diabetes. At age 24.
Spend as much time with your mom as you can whatever the circumstances. You will be glad that you did.
And enjoy the kilt. Joyousness doesn't fully conquer fear or anger or sorrow, but it can make the memories of hard times bittersweet rather that just bitter.
Wearing the kilt and other things can be an affirmation of life and hope.
I don't know your family, but in mine life is meant to be lived -- to the fullest -- until it can no longer be.
The elderly and the ill thrive on the liveliness of those younger and healthier. Their heritage.
Best wishes.
