left at 17 to go to uni far away

my mother was widowed at 42, supporting five children through uni. including me for the 1st year, then she helped with tuition - but has always been wonderfully helpful.

i moved back at 25 and then she left a few yrs later with 2nd husband to go far far away

2nd husband died

my junior unit then lived with my mom through university

mom is turning 92 next month and now i'm looking after her in many many ways.

i guess what goes around comes around. or something like that.
