And she would toss a fit when she is fed. Her son moved her to an old age home and when I visit her she would always demand I drive her home. Never had the heart to tell her that her son sold that house. Doubt she would have understood. God rest her soul.<BR/><BR/>Wish your mom the best. It is difficult. *hugs*Simple Americanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00249900697096290732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16572633.post-51356009387015248642007-11-06T14:53:00.000+08:002007-11-06T14:53:00.000+08:00I'm terribly sorry about your mom ECL.

Even at 6am, she will be yelling at her mil who soiled the bed. Very sad sight i would say. Be strong ECL. Get other siblings to help out if you really need a ME time. Hope the new maid arrive soon. At least it will lessen your burden of cleaning up. You can concentrate and building bond with your mom then. After all, what is a daughter for, right? <BR/><BR/>p/s: errrr... Jaymes.

Over the few years before that, I have seen her slowly drift away... it was really painful. Because her last surviving son had passed away, her grandchildren had decided the best thing for her was to put her in an old folks home.<BR/><BR/>Every trip there to visit her always ended with with me in tears. I stopped visiting when she could no longer recognize me. Thinking about it still hurts today.<BR/><BR/>I'll be keeping you in my prayers... I really believe that once the memory goes; the pain is no longer there. Why? Because the person is no longer lucid enough to be hurt.PChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15038172394425716064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16572633.post-1077734447908972932007-11-06T09:23:00.000+08:002007-11-06T09:23:00.000+08:00I do agreeGet a partner, and live your life ^-^I do agree<BR/>Get a partner, and live your life ^-^yenjai.nethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14553024979095240791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16572633.post-52152766710559688242007-11-06T05:27:00.000+08:002007-11-06T05:27:00.000+08:00ECLThanks for the good post and for the good recom...ECL<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the good post and for the good recommendation.
