Mom we’re here said Margo, as she closed the front door. We are in the living room honey, come on in. Margo and misty walked into the room .there sat Joanne, Bob and some man that Margo didn’t recognize. Joanne stood up and Margo could tell she had been crying. She said, Margo this is Dr. Roberts, he is grandma Mary’s doctor, he flew in from Georgia, to talk to me about mom. Why, said Margo what is wrong with grandma? She’s not dead is she, and tears fill her eyes? Joanne took her hand and said, Oh lord no, she’s not dead honey, I’m sorry if I scared you. Then what is wrong said Margo. Here have a seat, you too misty, and I didn’t mean to ignore you. Oh that’s ok Mrs. White, I understand, said misty. so the girls sat down and Joanne started talking.

 she said. Margo, you know every since daddy died last year mom has been so lonely. I know she has been lonely mom, that’s why I try to visit more. Joanne said, I know you do Margo, but magnolia lane is so huge. It’s too much for mom to handle. And her memories of daddy and their life there and memories of her parents, they fill that place and she becomes to over whelmed by all of it. After all she is 82 years old honey. Dr. Roberts saw her last week, she had a mild stroke. so he admitted her into the hospital. He is very worried about releasing her. He doesn’t think she should be alone in that big house. so we were just talking about closing up magnolia lane, and putting mom in a nursing home.
