You are only human and as long as you are doing the best that you can, it will be enough.<BR/><BR/>Sometimes it is hard - that's when I know I need a Calgon moment. I may sit in my bathroom if I have to just to regain a sense of peace so I can deal with grandma with love and respect.<BR/><BR/>Be encouraged, you will be blessed! Oh yeah, have you ever utilized respite services for your mom?njmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14389032700779445252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5343363891628121736.post-27116244320370273142008-04-05T21:54:00.000-04:002008-04-05T21:54:00.000-04:00Hi, I love your blog!

Your faith and good will really inspire me to greater patience with Mom. Mom was recently in the hospital with a UTI that turned nasty. On Easter Sunday evening I went to visit her with dessert along with my oldest son, Vince and my mother-in-law. She introduced us to the nurse as, "This is my daughter, this is my aunt (pointing to mil), and this (pointing to my son) is my other aunt."!! My son immediately spoke up, "Uh, grandson, here!" <BR/><BR/>She always remembers our dog, Lucy, though. I think Lucy my be the last family member she knows!Bettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01016466909444343881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5343363891628121736.post-68664824430137273222008-04-04T00:37:00.000-04:002008-04-04T00:37:00.000-04:00Hi XUE!As a caregiver, I tend to be homebound most...Hi XUE!<BR/><BR/>As a caregiver, I tend to be homebound most of the time unless I am at work.
