I<br />know it's one of those inevitable facts of life but I still find myself fighting it (and I am 83 !) You are to be commended on your loving care.

I recognize so much of what you describe from my own care taking of my parents, who are 88 and 90 years old. It's a privilege and a blessing. I think I shall be writing a bit about that this week.Gingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14826899900356202742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31402520.post-71747233291324121962016-08-29T13:23:18.448-04:002016-08-29T13:23:18.448-04:00I have loved that Shakespeare sonnet since I was v...I have loved that Shakespeare sonnet since I was very young.<br /><br />We were the "responsible party" for the last five years of my M-I-L's life in a nursing facility. We have carefully planned for our last years in carefully worded documents and a trust officer plus long-term-care insurance. We've made a down payment for a full-service community and will move there in another five years of so. The monthly assessment will cover whatever assistance we need from independent living to skilled nursing facility.NCmountainwomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00615765649828716560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31402520.post-23151965417792959102016-08-29T08:53:58.936-04:002016-08-29T08:53:58.936-04:00It's interesting that you have assumed this ro...It's interesting that you have assumed this role so often. It makes one wonder when we will need this kind of help. Never would be good.Anvilcloudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07974744042579564912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31402520.post-35310222221954149712016-08-29T04:58:19.902-04:002016-08-29T04:58:19.902-04:00As someone who won't have a "Donna" ...As someone who won't have a "Donna" (or anyone, save maybe a nephew) to see about me in my older age, I think it is lovely that you have stepped up to be "that person" for members of your family. It is not necessarily a role any of us would relish, but it matters. Kudos to you, dear friend. Know that it is appreciated more than they could ever articulate.
