It must have been the worst possible experience. I am glad you are all safe, elderly people are often extremely resiliant and I hope your mum makes a complete recovery and is able to impress her friends with her adventures..... that sounds as if Iam trying to make light of your situation and that is certainly not the case, I guess what Iam trying to sat is that the awfulness of the situation will fade with time. Lastly although I am sure at the moment you don't want to think about it, I hope your lovely home recovers and that you a able to enjoy many more Florida holidays ( outside hurricane season!!)
