She had a similar timeline and really only about 9 months after finding out that it had metastatized before she wasn't able to do stuff anymore that she had really wanted to do. The top two things on her list were to go with me and my kids to Disneyworld and to take a tour of the East Coast when the leaves were changing. I took her and her husband to Disneyworld with my kids; we flew first class (her first and only time ever doing that) and stayed on property at the Animal Kingdom Lodge. It was a great experience and I am so glad I did it, and am so glad my kids got a memory that they'd never forget about their Grammy. My mom died a couple of years ago of metastatic breast cancer.

Respect her wishes knowing that for some people just knowing that they are loved is the greatest gift they could have. You are a good man Phil. You're mother is lucky to have a son like you. I have so much more I could say from my own experiences, but know that you have once again reminded me of why I respect you.

There might just be something, something kind of big and far away, that's she's always wanted to do or see. And this would be an amazing thing to make happen. ~Aramada I think that would be a great thing to ask her.

I think it could be, and I think it could lead to some really neat opportunities for you to share something with her. If she gives you vague ideas, let some of us know, and maybe we can help round out a plan or two. Has she seen your nephew? Will she get to soon? I imagine that is very high on her priority list right now. I hope you get to talk to her about this, and I hope that it can be an affirming, pleasant conversation for you guys.
