Mom: It sucks to get old
Me: I know.
Mom: You just kind of fall apart. It gets pretty grotesque. I mean, I remember watching my Mom...
Me: Oh, I know. I'll take care of you.
Mom: I can't tell you how comforting that is. I hate that I was far away from my mother when she as she got older.
Me: Well, we'll make it work. No matter where I go in the world, I'll stay rooted to where you are.
Mom: Or I'll come to you...
Me: Yeah.
Mom: It's hard when your mother dies.
Me: Oooh, I know. Agh. I don't want to think about it.
Mom: Okay, yes. Cancel, cancel.
Me: You still have a lot of life in you.
Mom: It's true.
Me: We're lucky.
Mom: Yes, we are.
