While watching “Cops” and hoping the phone won’t ring again with another relative telling me another horror story:
- Whatever remaining childhood was left in your world disappears instantly as you start comparing
nursing homescontinuing care facilities for your mom. - Realizing that you’re probably going to be the one making the entire decision, without even much input from your dad, does in fact make it worse.
- Ice cream doesn’t make it all better. But it doesn’t hurt, either.
- Speaking of childhood, Rob Ford, alleged mayor of Toronto, is acting like a spoiled, pouting eight-year-old and I feel it is my duty to make sure that Americans start laughing at him as much as (I hope) Canadians are.
- Speaking of Toronto, this is an interesting blog that I found, oddly enough, through an article about DC.
- Disturbing statement I just heard on TV: “I could totally go to sleep with this thing around my neck.” (I think it was a commercial for some kind of pillow.)
I’ll try to get back to rock and roll en français soon since I seem to do that better than anything else lately.
My heart is with you
Condolences on your mother. I’m sure you’ll do fine on choosing a new home for her.
Really sorry to hear about your mom. I know how difficult and stressful it is to have to make these decisions. She’s lucky to have you.
Rick said it best…my heart is with you, too.
Thanks all for the support. I’ll try not to dwell on it, but damn, it’s been a rotten year :)
Let me know if you need some help – even just moral support. I can take some time and help you with the comparisons so you don’t have to do it alone.
I know you’ve been going through a lot these days, and you got your Teddy Bear.
Just adding Mega hairy muscle hugs to get you through the rest of the year.
