She is 85 with health problems and currently in an assisted living facility. To be honest, we are all waiting on her to die. Currently, though, her health has been on the upswing.
A side note... this past Christmas, she was the only one that gave me a Christmas card. I even have a brother, a sister, and 3 grown kids. One of my kids is a devout Christian. Only my mom gave me a card.

That is really, really, really sad, Adam. There is no one in the world who can take the place of a mother, and for her to be so miserable, must be so hard to deal with. But yet, like you said, there is always good in the worst of situations, so you must comfort yourself with that. I will be praying for your mother that she will find refuge in the Lord before she goes into eternity. And for you, that you will be able to find that same refuge as well.
