I bought her a car and gave her $$ when she needed it on pretty much the same basis, “You need this, here it is, leave me alone.” When she died, my thoughts were no more than, “OK. She’s dead.”

I'm sorry that you guys had mom's that were less than ideal to put it lightly.
I guess the silver lining is that you both seem to be great guys so you turned out well despite your situation.
I'm having a good but tough visit. Mom was pretty perky the first three days but has stopped eating and is getting weaker and sleeping a lot more. I'm assuming it won't be too long now. I hope my wife is able to chat with her some when she gets here Friday.
