Guest guest Posted March 28, 2002 Report Share Posted March 28, 2002 Vera We are hanging on! I have both grandsons now, of course is in school but I get him at 3:20 and get his homework done, feed him, and do anything else that needs to be taken care of while rocking and feeding Andy from 8-8:30 in the morning until 7 to 8 at night, depending on when Jayme can get her accounts closed and get home. Mother is sliding fast. I'm so bogged down with trying to get all her papers in order. I am gaining on it. I'm trying to get all mine and Jim's in order at the same time. Jim wasn't too excited about reviewing wills, DNR's, Power of Attorney, etc but I told him to get his butt in gear because it was going to be done so I could forget about it and not worry that some lose ends were flapping in the breeze. I want to get funeral arrangements made at the same time I get mother's done so that's one more thing I can stop worrying about for the next 30 years. We have several elderly friends who have no family that have named us as caretaker/executors so I have been working with a couple of them to make sure they have everything in order also. You hang in there too, Vera. I know you don't get any more sleep than I do and it's really starting to catch up with me. If we are really only as old as we feel, then I'm coming up on 76 about now instead of 56. Much Love Sally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 29, 2002 Report Share Posted March 29, 2002 Sally, I know that you are a very loving person to do so much for everyone else but please take time for yourself. The last thing any of them needs is for you to become ill also. God Bless, Belinda > Vera > > We are hanging on!
