Since her move to our home, it's feeling much less treacherous and we are all far more relaxed.<br />Her needs will always win out over her wants, but her wants will be honored whenever possible.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18285427147723972295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8032376069218624542.post-17696705518273864522014-08-06T16:45:48.454-04:002014-08-06T16:45:48.454-04:00well said, jo. sometimes its hard, doing what you ...well said, jo. sometimes its hard, doing what you know is right, complimenting that with what the person wants, by adjusting to their needs but also maintaining a moral ground.

I know she will love Florida. We chose the area where the sweltering heat is less in duration and the ocean is near, but not at our door. It will be so good for all of us.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18285427147723972295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8032376069218624542.post-71509724217939402082014-07-22T11:40:17.456-04:002014-07-22T11:40:17.456-04:00I actually have read Mickey Rooney's speech an...I actually have read Mickey Rooney's speech and I immediately thought that his loved ones were simply looking out for his well being. I suspect anyone who sees that speech has either, a.) not been a caregiver to a loved one, or b.) witnessed the abuse of an elderly person and thinks that's the way it always is - as you and I both know, it is not. - I really feel for you Jo. I watched my lit'l sis turn herself and her life inside out and upside down to care for our mom until dementia had just taken our mom too far down the road and she had to be placed in a care facility. - Not an easy decision for anyone to make. - I pray that your house sells and you can make your move sooner than later and that you and Roomy and mama will all be living happily-ever-after down in that blasted sun you love so much. ;) - Hugs to you..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
