Oh, Bill, that line summons up a world: "I observed her decline mostly at a distance..."! I lived in LA during the years my mother looked after my father as he slipped deeper into Alzheimer's, but I sent flowers regularly, and visited when I could. Now, as a senior recuperating from Covid, I live in Victoria and send her flowers regularly as she slides further into dementia...
Plus ca change, I would hope...!
Loved reading your Mother's Day Edition, and whoa there- a 2024 publication of her columns? That is fantastic news. FANTASTIC!

Always good to see something from you, Mr Bill.
