I must commend you for being a responsible and caring daughter. Were that there were more people like you, willing to walk the walk and not just talk the talk. This is a good site for those who are facing the same difficult challenges and for those who are anticipating this in the near future. I have been in your shoes and that time for me has past. But I always remember and sometimes, I dream that I am still caring for my late Mother. I miss her so much. Cheers to you and yours!
