I know, and sympathize with what you've been going through. I went through something not quite as bad several years ago with an aunt who lived in another city, and who needed more care than we were able to give her here. And now we're having to help my father-in-law deal with his wife, who has COPD, an addiction problem and dementiaC R Wardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13212244053084461118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1511550796165869351.post-91799152554276884412022-01-05T17:52:59.181-05:002022-01-05T17:52:59.181-05:00Happy New Year, dear Ann!

My mum was in a care home for nine months and I was very wary of saying anything critical in case they somehow took it out on my mum. My mother in law was also in a care home for a while and her son and daughter were equally nervous of being too critical.<br /><br />We're vegetarians so our Christmas meal was a nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10472673041193755894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1511550796165869351.post-68837280463093385252021-12-26T14:22:05.591-05:002021-12-26T14:22:05.591-05:00Thats too bad about your sister.

Well an American version of Chinese that is. <br /><br />My dad advised me around 1998 to accept stress. It will always be with you. I felt sad that he was in his mid seventies and felt that way.

She has been cheated in not being able to have an active life. But all in all, she had a lot of good years. Strokes are horrible things. <br /><br />We've never made Yorkshire Pudding.
