2019-10-11 17:40:47 UTC

2019-10-11 17:40:56 UTC  

I don't like when our parents get old

2019-10-11 17:41:15 UTC  

Does she have a favorite food?

2019-10-11 17:41:26 UTC  

She likes lots of stuff

2019-10-11 17:41:35 UTC  

We make her at least one big meal a week

2019-10-11 17:41:43 UTC  

Then she has left-overs

2019-10-11 17:41:49 UTC  

She gets 10 meal tickets a month

2019-10-11 17:42:00 UTC  

For dinner in the dining room

2019-10-11 17:42:04 UTC  

oh ok

2019-10-11 17:42:13 UTC  

She has to sign up for whatever meals she likes

2019-10-11 17:42:26 UTC

2019-10-11 17:42:27 UTC  

Does she have any friends there?

2019-10-11 17:42:31 UTC

2019-10-11 17:42:40 UTC  

Yes, she has a couple of friends

2019-10-11 17:42:51 UTC  

Aww is she able to go to the dining room on her own

2019-10-11 17:42:54 UTC  

Right after Dad died, three widow friends "adopted" her

2019-10-11 17:42:59 UTC  

Not anymore

2019-10-11 17:43:09 UTC  

I've been going down and picking up her meals for her

2019-10-11 17:43:15 UTC  

ohh ok

2019-10-11 17:43:16 UTC  

Next one is Saturday night

2019-10-11 17:43:53 UTC  

Other than the fall and her age.. is she in good health?

2019-10-11 17:44:01 UTC  

no pain?

2019-10-11 17:44:04 UTC  

I usually go over there in the mornings, but I guess I'll go in the evening

2019-10-11 17:44:09 UTC  

Lots of pain

2019-10-11 17:44:21 UTC

2019-10-11 17:44:25 UTC  

oh wow

2019-10-11 17:44:32 UTC  

has arthritis and scoliosis

2019-10-11 17:44:44 UTC  

She uses a walker

2019-10-11 17:44:53 UTC  

But not that bad for 92, really

2019-10-11 17:45:17 UTC  

I know it must be really hard on you as well. It's not easy taking care of someone you love.. in every way.. but it's one thing that you will never regret. So I am so glad you are having these moments with her everyday.

2019-10-11 17:45:47 UTC  

I don't regret taking care of Dad for one second.

2019-10-11 17:45:57 UTC  

Now it's time to take care of Mom.

2019-10-11 17:46:01 UTC  

Same thing

2019-10-11 17:46:12 UTC  

It's what we do..

2019-10-11 17:46:17 UTC  

they took care of us.. raised us..

2019-10-11 17:46:42 UTC  

Right

2019-10-11 17:46:45 UTC  

Now it's our time

2019-10-11 17:47:01 UTC  

I hope you are able to take a little time for yourself.. so you aren't burnt out. Make your brother help when you need it. Pull him by his ear lol

2019-10-11 17:47:02 UTC  

And hopefully my kids will do the same for me

2019-10-11 17:47:07 UTC  

They will
