As the time draws near for my mother's move into Heir Head Manor I ponder several things. Through the years as our lives grow and change how will my mom and I's relationship form. When we are both in the more senior times of our lives and still living at Heir Head Manor what kind of existence will we share?
One theory I have is that we are going to be very similar to Dorothy and Sophia from the Golden Girls. Even though I do not tower above my mother in stature we have certain other distinctions which make us an unlikely mother daughter pair. Also I can just imagine my mother blurting out all kinds of random sassy things to people once she is old.
She already plans to ride the ski bus that comes around and rounds up the oldsters to drop them off at the mountain. Somehow I imagine my mother becoming part of the rowdy crowd of older folks who start their cocktail hour early and end late.
I know I won't have any problems with my father he will just crank up the heat to ninety degrees and hang out on the couch draped in an afghan watching the military channel. I know it will be a blessing that my mom will stay active in her older years, but as I imagine the car revving out of the driveway for a hot roding trip to town in which she can barely see over the wheel I can't help but wonder..........?
