Success is traveling 3000 miles to enjoy a visit and breakfast w my 97 yr old mother who not only gets to “age in place” but remains independent w the support of family.Thanks to the state of Massachusetts, her drivers license was renewed last week and she just now hoped in the car to drive to her daily church service.
