Three-year anniversary

My mom has been in her assisted living facility for three years now, as of a couple of days ago.

Wow.  Honestly, when she first got there, I thought she would only live six months or a year, maybe two at most.  She was disoriented and suffered various health challenges.  Good care has extended her life for these three years, and though she is weakening and declining, she remains pretty sharp, even sharper (maybe) than 3 years ago.

Three years.  Surprising.
