I have owned my 2025 Mazda CX-30 GX for about six weeks. In that time I made one day trip to Jasper, Alberta, some physiotherapist appointments, and nine trips to visit mom who lives an hour from me.
My most recent trip to visit mom was today. Mom is eighty-three and looking a bit frail. She is getting weaker. She gets around in a wheelchair and needs the help of two staff to get in and out of bed. Her memory is rapidly declining, today it was the worst that I have observed. She still knows who me and my sister are, however I was not quite sure she definitely knew who I was today. She does not remember what town she lives in and thinks I live in the same building.
I try to have a conversation with her, it is not easy. She tires easily and most visits come to a premature end as she easily falls asleep. I do not like to see her, or practically anyone, like this. Time gets us all.
