Thank you @AllRB
It was only as matter of time unfortunately but I did all that I could and she seemed as comfortable as she could be in the end. She had a good run and did not want to have stay longer with failing health. Many thanks to you all for your kind words.

If you opened her eyes to the wonders of Taiwanese food... that is the very height of filial peity right there.Thank you @AllRB

I can honestly say that Mum was queuing up for all sorts of Taiwanese influenced food here.
She ate pretty well and never seemed able to totally fill that cavernous appetite.

Big Hugs @Mr Crudley It's tough when anyone you care about dies. Even tougher when it's your Mum.
Whatever happens over the next few months, and indeed years, please be kind to yourself, and you can let yourself feel all the emotions that come up, and sit with them, don't block them out, you can let go of them when it feels right. It will take as long as it takes. It's no-one else's business to tell you how long that's going to take, or how you are 'supposed' to be feeling. even me.

Thank you all for your kindness. Most appreciated. I think best to look at the brighter side and also value the time we all have left here.
Bearing that in mind I'm at Wylde now at the unfashionable north-east corner. See two other punters despite the carpark being packed. The Pinoy gents are all in today too.
Allow a shot of a bonus highly experimental Pumpkin lasagne from one of my Mum's friends. A successful effort.

Good outlook @Mr Crudley and kudos on maintaining that mindset given the circumstances.
Those purple 5010's are a thing of beauty. I have a little pang of jealousy every time you post a picture of yours (please don't stop though!). If they'd had proportional chainstays those few years earlier I'd have one in my stable 100%.
PS: Pumpkin lasagna is damn tasty, you're making me hungry! A long overdue discovery.

Thank you @ForkinGreat I think seeing her decline slowly over the past year and them more sharply recently has made it bit easier to process, opposed to being their one day and gone the next. She had a good run right up to the past 2 months and for that then I have to be thankful. You can only hope for any loved to go without loss of dignity and without much pain. A friend mentioned to me that this is the award for living a good life without having to be on daily meds or having physical problems which does ring true.
Saying that, I also don't see any reason not to indulge in things that I enjoy right now hence my recent bike binge. Not like I'm hitting the can's but just setting the alarm early for a CoD seems to work for me and makes everything a bit better. I try to avoid being a head in my hands 'woe is me person' but not always that great at it. The little things help. I may even set the alarm tomorrow morning since CoD's don't do themselves.

just out of curiosity... is that pumpkin lasagna one of many cooked meals currently occupying your fridge? The 'gathering of the casseroles' sometimes seems to be a thing after the passing of a loved one.
For me, I like the term 'sparrow-fart start' or, 'I'll get up at sparrow-fart' to go ride'. NFI where that came from. Whenever someone writes CoD, my brain always defaults to the abbreviation for the game.

Thank you @beeb It is better to look on the bright side and I think she would want it that way too.
The 5010v3 is fine machine and way beyond my nancy capabilities. I enjoy riding it a lot. Dialling in a touch more rebound dampening for general trail ride really makes it feel more planted. It is just a fun bike and I really don't need any more bike.
I do remember a few of us gently reminding you to hang on the 5010v2 such as @Ultra Lord but who are we to say 'No' to NDB? Torn, we are...........

I will be getting a schooling on the art of Pumpkin Lasagna. The taste mix just works well together.

I have a more conventional lasagna that also has peas and some lightly crumbed eggplant which is also pretty primo. It comes from one of Mum's friends that lives not far from her and happens to be Italian which is all the qualifications you need to put together a fine lasagna. I think it is just part of that fine DNA and doesn't need to the written down.
I also like my Banh Mi's to be made by aging Viet ladies that shave their eyebrowns and then draw them back on and have really poor and impatient customer service skills. Legit wins.
I am doing my best to tear through these fine lasagna's hopefully without having to put more air again into that rear air shock due to my added lardarsedness. I am trying to keep a bit more on the trim side
