MISSINGROSIE said:yup. Same thing. I fretted and fretted and frettted and told myself I wasn't goimg to fret over what she could fix. It bothered me that she was lonely.
Rosie, your mom must have been my mom's sister! She was a full blooded Italian Catholic and a wonderful mom. She died at 93 after having lived a short time in an assisted living place, and a short time in an Adult Group home. She was a handful, and I felt very sorry for the caregivers. She cared for my dad for 10 years while he had dementia, and then still kept her wits til the end. Madonna Mia!
