[QUOTE="muttmeister, post: 622372, member: 135"] Like you, I've always been independent and "pulled my own weight" and often ended up helping others besides. but part of being human gracefully is realizing that, in this life, there are times we must help others and there are times we need to accept help from others. In this case, it sounds like this is something your mother wants to do. You say she should enjoy the time she has left and spend her money in a way to help her do that. Maybe that's what she's doing. No matter how strong we think we are, there comes a time that the best we can do is accept a gift that is lovingly given to us, say thank you, shut up, and if the opportunity presents itself - pay it forward.
