Janet, so sorry I haven't been on here much to keep up with what is going on, but you know that I think of you and you are in my prayers. I went through these times with my mother when my girls were in middle and high school. She was in an assisted living and then nursing home, but I went to see her every evening after work and fed her. Our girls did their homework many evenings in the nursing home. I didn't have the constant burden that you have, working full time, I wasn't able to have mother at home. We couldn't afford a full time in-home caregiver for when I was at work, and her dementia significantly complicated her care. She was like a baby near the end. Being her only child, it was up to me to make all the decisions concerning her care, and accept the blame when things didn't go like others thought they should.

These are very tough times to deal with, and my heart truly goes out to you. I'll try to be on here more and keep up with you, but if I'm not here, you and your family will be in my prayers.

A letter to your brothers is a really good idea Janet. If nothing else, they will know how you feel, and you can get it off your chest to them.

Maybe they will pitch in and help some too!

That's what makes us such great friends!!!! Please don't ever think that we don't want to share what you're going through......we're all here for each other!!!! We love you, Janet!!!!

I think Gayle said everything in one post. And I'm glad she did because I'm horrible with words.

Best I can do is send you positive thoughts and energy. XOXO

I have the letter all written, I just haven't sent it yet....I'm a little nervous so I want to make sure it's perfect before I send it.
