We all have a nice time a dinner. There are a lot of laughs (which were needed).
The best line of the night goes to my mom when she says that God really got her this time. He put her in a situation when she can eat anything that she wants but she doesn't have the ability to put it in her mouth.
I've also realized that my Mom is totally lurking on my blog.
Mom, if you are reading this now - stop it.
When the trip is over, you are more than welcome to read it. This is for the people that aren't with us right now.
Do we have a deal?
(There is no way she is going to stop reading).
After dinner, we head back to the Holiday Inn. Jack put them in a suite so it would be comfortable for them to have a visit with his son.
But by the time we get back, my Mom is on the verge of exhaustion.
We clearly underestimated the effect that the high altitude was going to have on both my Mom and Jack.
We were thinking we might stay a second day here but it is clear that we need to get closer to sea level.
It is time to put her to bed.
Jack's son senses this and gets up to leave. Jack and I shake hands with him and then he reaches in to give my mom a hug.
He says goodbye to my mom.
This will be the last time that he sees her and we all know it.
She whispers something in his ear.
I can't make it out.
And just like Abed on Community, I hate it when they do that in movies.
