[quote=Anonymous]OP, I have the same issue. My 93 yo mom is increasingly physical frail and lives 500 miles away. She is mentally fine so I try to call her every morning on the way to work, and often on the way home. I hear about her day---the various intrigues, joys and frustrations at her senior living community and she hears about mine. We also do a lot of discussing of politics, current events and books. In some ways, I have a more daily "download" with her than I do with my spouse, who is in a really intense phase in his career. So when she goes---which realistically will be in the not too distant future---I will in some ways lose my best friend. The other posters are right---seize the day, call often, visit as much as you can. So that when your parents pass, you will know that you did everything you could.[/quote]
