For me, it was the only way I could have made this decision because I always used to question how to deal with my mother. The other issue I didn't even think about is that they would be giving my mom her meds a bit early if she left, as well as her PRN's. She would be blasted most likely.

I like the idea about invitations. I think adding the photograph to give her bragging rights will also make her very happy.

One thing, althought many people don't do the walk, I live in a town that (although is not a college town) has three colleges. The graduations are front page news stories. However, I need to take that risk for myself. Thank you again for all your help.
