["My mom said she'd go to the doctor the next time she started feeling weird heart palpitations again. I'm about a thousand miles away from her, so I can't force her to go. But I'm worried about her, as she's always avoided the doctor, and always been in poor health. Hope she does the right thing", 'I hope so, too. Heart conditions can be scary! Do you have anyone closer to her that could check in?', "Sort of.. we have a neighbor that's been by her for 10 years, and they've been friends for a long time. But she's older herself, and has her own worries, so it's not like I can put more on her plate. My mother is just stubborn. I love her to death, but she's kind of a What will be, will be type person, and just assumes life will happen and you can, nor should, do anything to get in the way of it."]
