I found myself as a caregiver for the most basic needs to someone who in her prime, could put the fear of God into me. It was an odd reversal of roles.Dixiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02295517299942444614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-435487235329568097.post-69210088038759254492009-09-09T15:24:44.946-04:002009-09-09T15:24:44.946-04:00I&#39;m so sorry about your mom.<br /><br />We do what we can in these situations. For what it&#39;s worth, I watched my own mom - a non-maternal type who also fares better with cats than needy people - care for her mom / my grandmother when she fell ill, and it was remarkable to watch her deal. <br /><br />That photo - of the two of you, I take it? - is beautiful.Legallyblondemelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12300398605721219551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-435487235329568097.post-16504695598148678832009-09-09T10:33:26.991-04:002009-09-09T10:33:26.991-04:00I wish I had some words of wisdom but I can just offer an ear to vent to. <br />We went through this sort of thing with my gran last year and it is very hard to realised someone who took care of you now needs you to take care of them. <br />Hang in there and maybe recruit the neighbours to help out and give you a break.Suburban Princesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08229769705478339351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-435487235329568097.post-81721821115678038922009-09-09T09:18:40.981-04:002009-09-09T09:18:40.981-04:00Remember sweet Lisa I am here for you.
