Re: Checking In - Update!
Oh, Les, I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of your Mom. But what a
wonderful son you were to have spent all that time caring for her in
the last months of her life. You will be blessed a thousand fold for
what you have done. As much of a burden as it may have seemed at the
time, you will always know in your heart that you were there for your
Mom when she most needed you.
Something that comes to mind with your stating that you had to make
some very difficult decisions regarding your Mom's healthcare. This is
why a Living Will is so very important for people to have. One can
stipulate exactly they do and do not want done and it takes that burden
off the family members. I, for one, want nothing heroic done, but I do
want to be sure my make-up is on (at least lipstick), my roots are
touched up on a regular basis, and my chin hairs are plucked! (pardon
the levity, but I think you can appreciate it since you've always had
such a good sense of humor).
I wish you all the best and I think you more than deserve some cruises
in your future.
Jo-Ann
