Thank you for sharing your mother's dream with us. She is a very strong and brave lady. I am a little anxious about my upcoming surgery and your story just gave me some peace of mind. I have to learn to Let Go and Let God! I can waste time worrying or spend time enjoying my family. I will follow your mother's example and live for the moment.
I am glad she talked you into going to Germany. I am sure she knows how important you are to all of the people you help, and she is happy knowing that you are going through with your plans.
Take Care,
