And I hope you are not li...that's very moving. And I hope you are not like my mom when my dad helps and she comments on "how" he does things all the time. <BR/><BR/>I've been thinking of this too though when I see my mom nursing my dad who suffers from Parkinson disease and who gradually becomes more handicapt....dreams of far-away vacations etc are already far stashed away in the "impossible" closet. In December she spent all her afternoons in the hospital, now she's helping him at night to go to the toilet etc.... She often complains, she's often down & pessimistic, stressed and my sister and I frown our eyebrowns at some of her remarks. <BR/>Yet she loves my dad a lot and takes all her extra tasks for granted without much help for herself. I realise that my sister and I only visit and then go home where we live our own lives again with our distractions, jobs, ... But my mom can't escape. I'm sure we can only try to understand what it means for them, but don't truly get it even when we try.Goofballhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11155032632164828945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31107400.post-74741623559584675932009-01-20T00:49:00.000-08:002009-01-20T00:49:00.000-08:00That is so true!
