history: My mother is getting very old, and isn't in great health. I don't know if she has much longer to live. My mother is getting very old. And she really isn't in great health these days... That is unfortunate_comma_ my own mother was ill for several years_comma_ she is getting older as well. Do you get to see her often?
current: Yeah, I try to go see her at least twice a week. I'm not sure how much longer she'll be with us.
next: Just spend what time you can with her, I'd like to say something really profound but aging parents is a situation that just sucks. Sorry you are having to deal with it.
