Again thanks!


If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.

Prayers and thoughts coming from Missouri. Trust that she is at peace with her decisions, and has fulfilled His plans for her.

Positive and supportive thoughts to your family.

I took care of my Gramps the last 10 years of his life, and the last year and one half were the tough ones helping with diapers, picking him up, washing him, etc. Through all of this, I tell folks dig deep for all the patience you can muster and always remember that for all we know once "they're gone, they're gone". At least in the physical sense. So take every opportunity to sit with them, hold their hand, chat, etc.

If she is talkative and you've not done so, consider recording her. I sat and asked Gramps questions, and essentially got him saying everything his daughter (my ma) may want to hear after he passed - Merry Christmas, I love you, her name, what he did growing up, etc. Even when dementia set in, I still recorded him knowing I could edit the recordings later. From all the recordings I'm always surprising my ma here and there with her father's voice.

I couldn't have asked for a better mother-in-law as she never meddled and accepted me as a son-in-law with no hesitation. And of course I have my wife to thank her for.

Thank you


Cecil you said it! I too am in that very same boat at this point. We called in Hospice yesterday my MIL is starting to go into heart failure and she is basically shutting down at age 93. She has seen so much in this life! I think of all the things she has seen and its amazing. All the inventions since 1921 that she has been a part of. God bless your MIL and mine as well. I too could not have asked for a better one! May they go and be in a much better place! smile

The only difference between a rut and a Grave is the depth. So get up get out of that rut and get moving!! Time to work!!

Again thank you for all the kind words and wisdom. She's still hanging in there!
