Nancy and Steph Mom

[Guest guest]

oh now I have tears.  I have watched my Mom end up in final stages of dementia

for over 2 yrs now.  I go each day to hold her hand and feed her liquids and

pureed food via an oral syringe.  I miss her so much.  I bake from her old

recipes and sometimes I have to guess because it's hard to read her writing and

I can't ask her.  She's down to 70 lbs. 

I enjoy posting her recipes knowing members are keeping them going, she would be

so happy if she only knew.

Hugs

Nancy,

Sorry about your loss. I felt the same when I saw the post. My mom died in 1999

at 44 to colon cancer ( I was 23) and man would I give anything to have our

weekly dinners again. I am blessed now with a pretty good step-mom but lets face

it no one can ever fill the shoes of the real thing.

Re: [vegetarian_ group] Salad ideas?

I love any kind of beans, especially kidney beans or chick peas on salad, and I

love salads with lots of fresh vegetables on it.....and different kinds of

greens.....which my husband refers to as " weeds " ..... so funny. I

also like to add pine nuts, dried cranberries, sliced almonds or walnuts.

Sounds good to me!

 

You are so lucky to have a mother to have dinner with once a week. I would

give most anything to be able to have dinner with my mother just one more time.

She died September 18th, 1984 at only 58 years of age. I was 36 years old.

She was my best friend and the smartest woman I think I ever knew.......and she

loved me and my children so. I wish I could have her back......and now my 21

year old granddaughter is with her. I wish I could have them both back.

Enjoy your mother while you can.....you never know when you may not have the

opportunity to eat dinner with her ever again. AND, don't forget to wear

your seatbelt for Brittany.

In tears again.....

[vegetarian_ group] Salad ideas?

 

My mom and I have decided to have supper together every Wednesday night -- I

have to schedule these things because I'm so busy! Anyway, she complained

that she didn't know what to fix for me other than salad (her standard

complaint). I said that both of us could stand to have a salad once a week

for supper... So that's our plan.

 

What kinds of things do you all put on salads to make them more exciting? My

favorites are Greek salad with feta, kalamata olives, red onions, etc., or

taco salad. What else?

 

Thanks!
