Pokemon Cards for my Babies.

During one of several trips I made to Thousand Oaks to Jeannette's home she asked me to go shopping with her.  I told her that maybe she should rest and let me make her a hot cup of tea.  She insisted by saying she wanted to buy Conner and Shane some more Pokemon cards.  I drove us to the local mall that was filled with many shoppers.  Inside the Ross Store we went.  I watched her as she walked bent over holding on to her chest area to pull a basket.  I pulled it for her and then she said to me, "Ma, get you a basket too and put anything you want into it."  Then suddenly she turned and said she was heading out the door and to the toy store across the way to buy the cards.  She told me she would be right back.  I watched her as she tried to open the door to Ross to exit.  I went over and opened it for her.  After about 10 minutes after so much tears going the isles of the store, I decided to just put the basket back and go look for her.  As I glanced out the window I witnessed a little old lady that looked so frail and sick.  As I got close I realized it was Jeannette.  She looked at me and with a big smile said, "Look Ma, I found the Pokemon cards."  Then we both walked back to the car.  By that time she was totally exhausted and when we returned home, she went straight to bed and took another round of pain meds.  I sat on the couch crying quietly so as not to awaken her.  She loved her children so very much.
