Beach Bums

It's good you could provide the opportunity for her to see her old pal, Snubby. Sounds like a great change of pace for her, a needed chance to recharge her batteries, as it were.

When my mother was diagnosed with Lou Gehrig's disease, a lot of the family didn't want to come around because they thought they would be in the way. Pop and I put out the word to the family that they would be welcome to come to visit Mom, and that they would not be a burden to Mom. When we put out the word that having company would actually be a benefit to Mom the family started coming around.

Sorry to hear about your mother. Lou Gehrig's is a horrible disease and that's what my Neurologist initially diagnosed me with.
After further testing though my final diagnosis was Multi-focal Motor Neuropathy.
It's similar, not as deadly, degenerative, has no medication but can be treated with constant physical therapy.
My family made themselves scarce not because they didn't want to be in the way but because they didn't want to be bothered by me. Fortunately I have a wonderful wife.

Thank you for your kind words.
 
Snubby still looks like he could "wup his weight in wildcats"....

looking good bud - fitness after 50 is our most valuable asset these days.
Thanks, it's a lotta hard work but it's worth it. Gotta watch my diet and get regular workouts with lotsa cardio.
And I'm gettin' close to 60. I'll turn 59 in less than three months.
