When she found out her Mom had terminal brain cancer and didn't have long to live, Lindsay Somers took Monday and Thursday afternoons off, and took her Mom outside.

Lindsay Somers and her mom, Donna Glowa, appreciated a cold beverage outside.When she found out her mom had terminal brain cancer and didn't have long to live, Lindsay Somers took Monday and Thursday afternoons off, and took her mom, Donna Glowa, out into the world. They went for lunch, went to the horse races, but mostly, they spent time outside, together.

This was a place she had been to throughout her life, and again at the end of her life too, and it sounds weird, but like this was her church if there was a church for somebody. This is a place that held her when she was in really tough spots in her life. I remember looking up at her, and she was just leaning back in this chair, and she had her eyes closed and she was really feeling the sun on her skin. I was just so happy for her to have that, you know like, to have that moment.

When you're fighting for your life and everything is really hard, it's hard to find moments of solitude and peace where you're not thinking about, or remembering that you're dying. I just love seeing what it did for her.

So I think my mom really made it achievable. If this woman in a wheelchair can go on a frozen river to look at warming huts, you know what, maybe I can put on a jacket and go outside too.
