My mother is 90 years old and I talk to her a couple of times a week on the phone. Recently when I talked to her she asked me if I wanted to look through her jewelry next time I come to see her and to take what pieces I would like. I never expected her to ask me something like that on the one hand it means she is accepting me as I am, but its also a bittersweet feeling as it reminds me that she may not be around much longer.
