Same here. 9 hour time difference. Mom is 70.

I try to thank her every time I call with her, and apologize for being an ass.

But what hurts me the most is that I can't help her. I can't fix the computer, or clear the gutters. You know, things that an adult son should be doing.

Nor can I invite her for coffee.

Well, actually, she'd come around unannounced, via the gate, not using the front door. I got angry about that multiple times. But now, I would be really happy.
