Once again Dotsie your post and your prayers have touched my heart. Thank you my dear friends for all your well wishes.


What a beautiful family picture JJ. Did you all organize a dress code? Funny, I have that combination on right now…white blouse and tanned slacks. Other then the Boston accent, I could blend right in with you gals.

I've been checking out old age homes with my Mom, and we have come to the conclusion the closer the home is to me, the better. Her insurance covers a paid stay at an old age home up to 28 days/yr. Not bad. We'll be using that for her to just try it out, and just have to wait for the final paper work. She is open to trying it out, so that makes it somewhat easier for me.

JJ wrote in another post how it was to pack her Dad's things for the last time. Oh God, I dread that too, but am trying to stay strong. Knowing that so many of you have gone through this as well, truly helps me.
