Mom likes to fold. She focuses on the task with intense concentration, lining up the edges of a piece of paper or napkin, and folding it over and over into a neat, precise pattern. At 91 years old – after a long life of raising kids, running a household, caring for her dad and mine – the hard work is finished. But the innate need to stay active endures.
