Hey Sisters,

Sorry I've been out of the loop for awhile...Mother in Law here, now gone and trying to get ready for Hawaii...I must say reading the blog tonight was quite a downer...you guys have got to throw a joke on here now and then or I'm going to need Lexapril or Seraquil or whatever!!:) I think we all agree that Mom and Dad's situation is really sad and it's so much harder on us than them. I guess I get through each day holding on to the fact that they are 90+, they are clean, housed, well fed, cared for and safe... could we wish for more? sure...better mental capabilities and physical strength, but their basic needs in life are taken care of and that's a pretty good place to be. I miss them and think of them so much...I probably dream of them at least twice a week...good dreams and when I wake it seems like they were so real. I know it will be tough not to have them for Thanksgiving...I would be so scared to take Dad for fear he might say something...and Mom would be so scared I think....maybe taking the party to them might be an option....wish I was going to be there. I've worried about leaving for vacation....about something happening...I'm trying to not think about it when it creeps into my mind, but it's always there. I miss you all and love you all and hope to see you all soon under super happy circumstances.....Jamie
