My mom and I had a similar talk yesterday. *hugs* We are both lucky to have such wonderful, loving, strong moms in our lives. It is so hard to watch them battle illness and pain.

Something else you need to realize as a parent - our biggest fear about dying is leaving our kids when they still need us. A big reason your Mom is able to be at peace is that she sees that she doesn't need to worry about you anymore, that you are going to be OK, that you've got control over your life. Be proud about that, it's a priceless gift you've given her.
