NG had birthday days prior to 1/31/26. So are you saying something like this is appropriate, "Hi Mom, we want to honor your birthday but we can't drive 10 mins to pick you up. Call Uber and get your own ride to our house 4 miles away. But don't worry, we will give you 2 mins to get from car to inside your garage around 9:48pm. Happy Birthday Mom." Despicable behavior imo if NG had to get her own transportation to a family neighborhood like dinner.
In answer to your quoting my post and asking me directly- here’s my personal
opinion:
Yes, I think Nancy regularly takes Uber. It was noted previously that she sometimes (maybe always) requests female drivers- and did request a female driver that night.
So she is well- versed on Uber riding and a very smart cookie.
She is with-it and independent and most assuredly confident and comfortable in calling herself an uber. Kudos to her.
As far as the return - her loving SIL allowed her the independence she wanted and could well have gotten out of the car to walk her to the door but she likely told him to stay there, thanked him and told him she loved him, grabbed her cane, walked to her inside door, turned on inside lights and waved goodbye before pushing the button to close the garage door.
Either he had a garage door opener in his car or he had the code and got out and punched it into the keypad or she told him to stay there and she did it herself.
He could very well have helped her all the way into her house, maybe she had a birthday gift in hand as well as her purse and cane.
Some of us strongly believe that the SIL and all family members of Nancy are completely innocent and that they adore Nancy and are devastated by her disappearance.
