 I wish I could, but my mom doesn't know how to use her phone and messenger is my only way to call her. 
Quite scary. 
I hope someday I'm able to have her near me so I can help her.
I can't stand facebook.

 Who needs Facebook when you can have quality time with your mom in person? Technology may be convenient, but nothing beats the warmth of a hug and a face-to-face conversation. Here's to hoping you can have your mom near you soon! ❤️ #FamilyFirst #OfflineIsTheNewOnline

 We live 1000's of miles apart and my health issues, medical bills, and my inability to accrue vacation time keep me from traveling at all.
I am, however, hopeful I will be able to someday.  
Meanwhile, I have to keep the communication open in any possible way.
