So sorry to hear your pain Johnny. Reading your words and others brings tears. And a first thought is “....at least you were there....”. I lived across the country when my Dad went but was fortunate to be there for my Mom's last years.
Only cuz you ask for 'Mom stories'... first memory that jumps out was a trip she wanted to make to Jacksonville for a last visit with a relative. That required a several hour plane flight and some smart-aleck doctor at the time didn't think much of it, even saying in a sarcastic tone: ”go ahead if you want, some people sky dive...” She disliked docs to put it politely so of course that probably helped settled it---off we went with 24hr oxygen and wheelchair. Result? She needed oxygen less there! Amazin. And she was so happy to find we could rent some fat-tired buggy and move along the beach. And the return home? (bearing in mind she could be a bit disoriented from 'normal' reality at times), her first words as I wheeled her into the house? “What are we doing in this place??” (How little we know of this plane.)
