I have often mentioned that my Mom lives in a retirement community. These don't come cheap but pays for almost everything. She just pays for cable, paper and phone. They have transprtation to the doctors office twice a week although Mom doesn't like to take advantage of that and will also go to Walmart once a week. Mom also doesn't do that. Sigh!!!!
So, her saving account has been dwindling and will only pay for a little more than a year there. All of us kiids put into her account monthly. She read about the VA widows pension fund and applied. The rep told her it would be about a year. So she got her letter of approval today. With her retro check (works like SSD does) it will be quite a windfall check then also a nice monthly check. The hard part is now once she gets her check, she wants to go shopping and I don't blame her. But she is soooo slooooooww because of her physical problems. So it looks like we will be spending a day at Sears! But I love her and wouldn't trade her for any other Mom in the world. |

Yay, Doyd! That's great news for you and your mom. Isn't it nice when prayers are answered so neatly? Aaaah, take a minute to breathe.

AWWW Doyd~ Your post totally touched my heart. There's nothing like MOMS. My sweet Mother will be gone one year on Mon. I can't believe it. Have a good time at Sears and hug her for me.
Your'e a good daughter.. (Glad she's getting some assistance)
