Thanks for this. My mom died one month ago after a years-long battle with ovarian cancer. Even when she was suffering from chemotherapy treatment, she would always think text to remind me to do the little things.
I remember when I told her I needed to have the oil pressure sensor replaced in my car and that I hadn’t had an oil change in almost a year. She asked me if I wanted her to nag me about it as one task or two separate tasks. When I explained that the same guy would do both, she said, “Got it - one task. Want me to set a deadline of, say, next Friday?” And I thought, that’s strange, deadline for what? To stop nagging me?
She died that following Friday.
Thanks for keeping Mom alive in your own little way.
