It was only two weeks ago that I gathered with all my siblings at my mother’s house, but today we gathered again at her request. Actually, nothing is too important, but we still fulfill her wishes.
She just wanted to give an invitation to vote on April 17, when all my siblings did hold elections in the Voting Place that were the same as my mother, except me and my wife. In addition, she also reminded about the pre-Easter and Easter schedules this week.
That is my mother, she lives alone in her house and is unwilling to be accompanied by anyone but rather likes to gather as often as possible, especially at the end of the week. Of course, we don’t mind as long as we have the opportunity and are not tied to our respective events or business. We realize that it is good to care for our mothers and also to pay attention to health, and her various needs. I think it is not an effort to pay off our debt for she has enlivened and cared for us to be independent but because we respect and love her.
At my mother’s house, the sky was bright cloudy. I took this picture from outside the front fence of the house overlooking the highway, the freeway and also the MRT station which is only about a hundred meters away.

My parents are not alive. But before that we have always gathered in their home.
You must have all the wonderful memories of them…
My mom is healthy and she lives in a place where I work so I can visit her from time to time.
So great to know… If the closeness of the heart is supported by proximity, then it becomes perfect.
I’m glad you’re still enjoying your mom. Unfortunately, my parents are no longer alive.
Well, in this case, I am more fortunate to be with my mother longer, but the most important thing is that love is always on our side, right?
I agree. Parents are always in my memories and love for them.
Glad you are still enjoying your dear Mother. Nice photo as well.
Well, the most important thing is love is always on our side, right?
Thanks a lot, Carol.
I still have live parents just what both are sick and they are really very old too
Do the two of them live together? and live around you?
So far, I have lived together … since January I have a mother in my old man’s home … my dad is home without both legs and I do not want to go home … I have 20 km to my parents

I’m sure you have good reasons why you don’t want to go home, dear friend.
My mother is the last of our parents remaining. We talk every week and visit on the major holidays.
We have something in common in this, Doc. We are fortunate that our distance is relatively close to each other, both with mothers and siblings, so it is more likely to meet more often.
we all used to live in Indiana and less than 40 miles apart when my father was alive. There was a time when my wife’s parents were 20 miles away, my parents were about 40 miles away and we got together all the time.
Those days are past. We now have family on both ends of the country.
I can imagine how difficult you are to meet each other without good planning.
It takes a lot of planning!
My parents have passed away. It my pleasure to take care of them while they were alive.
Yes, I know about that from our conversation so far.
Thank you for your concern.
My parents are still alive …
quite healthy, except for my mum who has problem with her knees …
but she is still active
You mention them quite often on some of your posts, so I know that they are still healthy living with you.
Yap … we’re quite close…
I’m glad we are 🙂
I can feel it and feel grateful for your happiness too.
This is a good post, my parents passed away a while ago. I think it is great to take care of people who are close to you.
Thank you so much, Pamela. You are right, if we are willing to take care for other people or things, why don’t we take care of those who are close to us.
