Very cool, Anno. How's your Mom? Can she travel and come to London to visit?

I read an article recently on this very topic: siblings in our age group pulling together to care for family. It isn't easy. Anno, you go through a lot in this life. God bless you!

Kathleen, you certainly have a full plate. My heart goes out to you as your travel this journey. If you ever need a shoulder, I'm here.
Anno, we found the same thing when my dad was diagnosed with Lewy-Body Dementia, and mom with breast cancer, at the same time. My sisters (4) and I pulled together, formed tag teams, if you will, and scheduled everything out. Neither parent was ever alone and I believe dad had the best of care until the day he died. When he did, there were five daughter surrounding his bedside. Mom survived and is 81, god love her. But we talk with her daily, still take trips and vacations together, and we never leave her alone...we are very involved in her life.
The sibling rivalry is still there, just buried for the time being. We've joked and said wonder how mom and dad are going to referee from heaven, once she is gone.

I admire all of you for caring after your parents. It is so telling of the blessed nature of your characters. God bless and may you always find a full storm jar.
