Wow, Dotsie - I was bawling so hard - I had to watch it twice.... DH spent the day at the hospital yesterday with his mother. She had chest pain during the night and wanted to go to emergency. She's already been to every hospital in our area, and wanted to go to one in Detroit. (55miles RT) Well, of course, it was only gas pains. But, they ran several tests to be sure. It was determined that she would have to wait for the results - and she was admitted. DH got home around 6:30 p.m. - the phone rang an hour later - she wanted to come home. Today, she's got the hospital directions so screwed up that DH has been on the phone for over an hour trying to find out what's going on.

I know how frustrating caring for aging parents is. I lost both my Mother and Dad last year after 5 years of dealing with one crisis after another. Now, it's DH's turn.

This clip is so touching - I have forwarded it to DH to watch when he's ready. We're all going to get there - like it or not - hopefully when it's our turn, our caregivers (kids) will have as much compassion as we give to our parents.
