PB, thanks for your nice note. I've never regretted being the caregiver for any of my relatives. I've been thankful that I was here and could do it. My brother feels terrible that he's so far away and can't help. When he comes into town each year, he completely takes over and gives me a little time off.

Mom tries not to be a burden, and mostly isn't one. She's in assisted living and gets looked after quite well, although she doesn't think so. A particularly depressing thing to me is the way she's become so negative about virtually everything. She was never that way, not even close, up until my dad died about 6 years ago. She's been in a downward spiral since.

I love her and cherish the time we have together. She's not able to do much anymore, so I can't even bring her to my place for a Sunday dinner. Travel is just too painful... so I go there.
