Thanks, LJ. She needs visits, as does my dad, who is at wit's end caring for her. He also needs help with her medications. He is blind in one eye, yet he has to read the teeny tiny printing on the medications to distribute to her each day. We boomers are talking about how we know we are right with ourselves and the world in another forum. I have the inclination to drop everything here and move in with them, but it is not my intuition, nor do I feel inspired to do so. Therefore, despite wanting to relieve them of their hardships, I know it is all right to do what I can from afar.
