Age is catching up with us and becoming a reality

My Mother is aging but in my mind I still see her as she was in my earlier years. I never thought of her as aging. But the reality of this thought is flawed. She has been visiting me for several days now and I see just how frail she has become over the last 2 years. I look at her and think when did this happen, when did I need to start looking out for her?

I guess this is just a part of life, we take care of our young and then as we age they take care of us. I just did not realize that that time had come in our relationship. This is another reason for going back to Oklahoma sooner than later.
