What they have to do and see is mountainous. <br />Glad you Old Man is doing better.AJ-OAKShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10835033049330507303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6243590338763738059.post-35843005355987959762010-07-13T22:36:32.514+10:002010-07-13T22:36:32.514+10:00It's so sad Con has to be in a home with stran...It's so sad Con has to be in a home with strangers rather than with loving family. Although it was easily financially possible (or our social system has always provided if not privately possible), we cared for my parents at home and brought medical care to them as necessary. Although toward the end it was sometimes more time consuming and challenging, we have never been sorry that we cared for those who gave us life and cared for us until we were adults, then continued to love us with all their hearts after we became independent adults. It is amazing how much the children learned about family, love, and responsibility by having their grandparents nearby.<br /><br />Thank you for a lovely post that will surely remind everyone how precious every day of life is to enjoy to the fullest with those we love.<br /><br />Very best,<br />LoisLois Evensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11129343619065721588noreply@blogger.com
