I think the driving force behind us wanting them to move is as you mentioned in your situation - one passes away before the other and leaves them living alone in a house they can't care for. I recently got together with a number of high school girlfriends and THIS was our main topic of conversation as we're all in the same situation now!Jill Hannah Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12007083642964545355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3168202173206451915.post-54585936071880302852014-03-16T06:55:02.841-07:002014-03-16T06:55:02.841-07:00What a beautiful post, Jill. So eloquently said, a...What a beautiful post, Jill. So eloquently said, and you're absolutely right: the most important thing is holding on to the one you love. My mom is 91, legally blind, and uses a walker; but she still lives on her own, in her own house. I know the day may come when a decision will have to be made about 'safety issues', but for now, it's most important that SHE be the one to make that decision (her body's falling apart, but she has a brilliant mind and is still very sharp). God bless our parents as they age, and God bless all of us, too, as we hold their hands and help them go whichever way they choose.Kathleen Irene Paterkahttp://www.kathleenirenepaterka.comnoreply@blogger.com
