But it's so hard to find the time to go regularly. This inspires me to make more of an effort. <br /><br />It also makes me wonder what we will do when my parents get to this stage. I hope my siblings and I can find a way to care for them.

My parents wanted to go to a room in an assisted living facility, but they were able to keep some of their own possessions, especially family pictures. Unless someone is so terribly ill they need professional nursing around the clock, I think it is best that the person live at home or with family. When someone dies, there's no do over in caring for them.Barbara Schoenebergerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16951360211636509133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2100862372880209397.post-16922763363826956152012-10-23T15:08:23.282-07:002012-10-23T15:08:23.282-07:00Yes Daily Grace.

So many challenges especially as you discern what's best for those who raised you and loved you even when it seemed no one else did. I'm trying to listen to their needs with my heart and not just my ears. <br /><br />Love the ending with the rosary ring!<br /><br />Blessings and +<br />Carolinehttp://www.bellofthewanderer.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2100862372880209397.post-60035704510939769242012-10-22T14:07:58.764-07:002012-10-22T14:07:58.764-07:00Thank you so much for taking the time to write Lis...Thank you so much for taking the time to write Lisa Maria.

Yet this is the age where children are considered burdens too!<br /><br /> When my mother in law became bedridden in the final stages of cancer, the family kept her in her own home and did everything to keep her comfortable, even getting a hospital bed and nursing help. I would never want to put my mother in a home. She deserves all the care I can give to her since she gave me all the care she could.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing this Victor...it was a tearjerker.<br /><br />God bless1 Lisa Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17357560782423451224noreply@blogger.com
