Would you explain the last part ( how did she look at him)? Thank you in advance.
I spent hundreds of days at Mother’s side, holding her hand, trying to tell her funny stories. She was being bathed and diapered and dressed and fed, and for the last several years, she looked at me, her only son, as she might have at a passing cloud.

Okay do this experiment and note how your facial expression looked:
Pretend there is a cloud passing by. How would you look at a passing cloud?
By cloud I mean, those white puffs in the sky.

kurome,
His mother is dying, and as she becomes sicker her mental abilities are diminishing also. Her illness has affected her brain to the point where she no longer recognizes her own son. She looks at him with only a temporary, superficial interest as one might look at a stranger or a cloud moving across the sky.

How?
As she might have (looked) at a passing cloud.

wow, what a crude and touching passage. Which book is it from?
Anyway, it means that she looked at him without any kinf of special feelings.... she looked at him as if he was just another common thing... like looking at a wall, or in this case, a cloud..
:)
