Brat,
I still have all of mine, too...lol.
But I just keep adding to them...
Letsquilt,
I'm sorry about your parents, and yes you're correct, they ARE family, and there's no way I'd not help out as long as I'm able.
I thank you for your kind words of encouragement. My mom also lives with dh and I. She's a lung cancer survivor of 11+ years. She's only got 1 lung, but I'm just happy to still have her here!
I know we all have "stuff", and I try to keep things in perspective.
It's just a tad rough being a caregiver for 2 people when I can hardly take care of me!
Regards,
Kif
PS Mark Twain had some wonderful life quotes!
