You write so beautifully and honestly about this folly. Reading your posts I feel thankful that as I approach 83 I have my wits and will accept any offer of help from my daughters and good friends. Always needed/wanted an admin assistant/wife/sherpa to tend to 'stuff'. Hugs to you for writing these heartbreaking posts.
you had me at The Right To Folly. A friend would say this to me all the time when i would tell her about my father, diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment 8 years ago. I'm here to lend an ear and to acknowledge how friggin hard it is to be an only child of a stubborn parent. sending Love!!!
How I can relate. I'm writing a memoir about moving across the country to live near mine and she's just not into it. Not five and a half years ago when I arrived; not now. Oh, the body language, yes I understand. The unfilled cup, the hold-out hope. Know that you are not alone. xo
Thank you, Kim, for writing to me. How kind of you to uproot your life for her. I'm sure your memoir will help many who are going through the same things. Take good care. xN
