I'd hold on to that bud ... you know she is forgetful.
BUT ...
She said it and she meant it.
In that moment of clarity and once in maybe forever she was completely truthful with you.
A piece of advice. Don't bring it up with her. Leave it alone unless she starts talking about it.
She meant what she said bud ... but she may not remember and/or deny she said it.
Don't take that chance ... keep the gift she gave you and don't let it get ruined.
Charles ... you know in your heart she's always loved you.
She's getting old.
There comes a time when a child ends up parenting their parent and everybody knows that can be more than a little challenging in some cases. I was very lucky with my Mom. I'm talking to a few friends here who are dealing with the same thing and are ready to be committed themselves trying to do the right thing for their Mom or Dad.
Sadly ... the issues you have with her complicates things considerably.
She needs to be evaluated by at least a family doctor. He will be able to determine if it's a physical thing or early onset dementia ... which I suspect it is. Stable is not the word I would have ever used to describe your Mom. He'll suggest the best course of action.
Your biggest problem may be convincing her to go.
