It was literally killing my mother but she would've never made that decision on her own. Ten years is a lot to watch someone do it. I'm sure your Mom is a wonderful person.Fran McNabbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17193141285229214245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5079931541460049406.post-41239732158198466882014-10-28T05:47:26.276-07:002014-10-28T05:47:26.276-07:00Very thoughtful post, Fran.

A few years ago they discoverd he had MS and only 4 months after he retired, he had a stroke. She is adjusting to the role of care-giver and I try to drag her out every Saturday for lunch just to let her have some peace.Kathye Quickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04952763179663503451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5079931541460049406.post-24163619297551000152014-10-28T05:08:59.173-07:002014-10-28T05:08:59.173-07:00That's a lovely post, Fran.
