My mom moved closer to the rest of my family almost two years ago. But it saddens me that even though she has her own kids right down the street they rarely help her. My mom isn't one to ask for help for just anything. She only asks when she really needs it. But my siblings are so stubborn and act like they're really put out by even the thought of helping her.
We went up to see her yesterday and to give her a computer to use. While there, there were so many things she needed help with. We took care of everything that she needed and more. She's my mom and I love her and I'll do anything to help. Why can't my brothers and sister do the same? It really frustrates me.
So, if you haven't in awhile, call your mom. Tell her you love her. Ask if there's anything you can do. Our moms have done so much for us, it's the least we can do for them.

Awww... that's great advice and hopefully someone out there will read this. I have noticed a lot of elderly parents that sit in their apartments forgotten by their children and I often wonder why their children don't pay a visit more often. Great post.
I talk to my mom a few times a week and visit at least once a week. Luckily my brothers and sisters watch out for my parents as much as I do. I think it's sad how many people are too "busy". I also think that it's pathetic that one mom can take care of a lot of kids,but a lot of kids can't take care of one mom. Thanks for this post,that is wonderful advice. :-)
