"Life goes on, long after the thrill of living is gone."

My mother is 95, I'm 74. She is sad that she won't see me in her heaven because I'm an atheist. I used to try to reason with her, but now I just let her have her fantasies because I want her last years to be peaceful. Your parents have lived in the real world, and coped. Mine, not so much.
