This is something that we all have to deal with now (some of us have a head start, others are getting ready to start) and that is: taking care of our deteriorating parents. I am very, very lucky in that my older brother lives with my mom. If he didn't, she would have to go to an assisted living place as her short-term memory and increasing aphasia are making daily living tough.
It is hard to see this whip-smart, very compassionate woman become, well...old, weak, and forgetful. No worries about my dad, though, since he took himself out of the picture quite some time ago.
What is up with the rest of you? Your situations and how you are handling things?
I'll put this up as a new thread.
