Cloud, I hope your daughter finds her strength. If she's anything like her mom she's got plenty of it!

Chocolatl and Merc, so sorry to hear of your losses. I just found out today that my 95 year old grandmother is going into a home. They tried for a very long time to keep her in her home, but even with 24 hour nursing care it just wasn't good for her. Twice she crawled out of her bedroom window because she was afraid of the nurse. I don't know how she did it, except the windows are really low, and she went over to the neighbors (lifelong friends of hers) in her nightgown. It is sad, though, that she can't spend her remaining days in her own home. For the longest time you couldn't stop the woman, then, age came in and stopped her quite suddenly.

My dad and aunt and uncle are looking for a home today. I know she will get great care, and perhaps she'll crack the staff up with her dry sense of humor a time or two.
