I returned to the PNW as my parents were 78 (mom) and 66 (dad) respectively and my mom would every sunday remind me that anytime I wanted, I could return and be her bff again! lol. I did and 2 days after I returned she was diagnosed (at 78) with Breast Cancer. She had surgery, underwent Kemo therapy and radiation. As she put it, God sent you home because He knew I wouldn't make it without you near. She passed away at 87 from ripe and healthy old age completely cancer free! She was never about to let "anything unholy have the best of her!" was her quote about Cancer!
