Kenny my friend my sympathies are with you I do know what you are going through. We moved my mother in law in with us until it go really bad with the Altheimers finally had to put her into a nursing home. She passed last year not knowing a sole it is very sad. I am now going through the same thing with my mom my dad also passed less than a year ago. Mom wanted to move in with us but we knew it wouldnt work and put her in the best of retirement homes. She is happy there and at 90 just celebrated her birthday 24 May. She has memory loss now through a series of mini strokes but it really guite good. So I send you my prayers Kenny it is not an easy thing but remember all the years they looked after us.

I call it raising our parents. Anna"s Mom has been living with us for 29 years. She is going on 93 this year. There have been health problems over the years. Right now she is reasonably healthy and goes shopping at least twice a week with Anna. You know its bad when my 92 year old mother in law puts my oxygen bottle in the van. She is going to out live me. For us its been like raising kids and you can't look forward to them moving out. I feel for you. Its hard. But love always prevails. We do what the lord wants us to do and he will take care of us in the end. Prayers are with you.

Kenny, glad to hear your Mom is doing well. I went through several years of similar things with both mother an father in law. It can be a tough go. But we love them and gladly do whatever it takes.

Thanks you all for your concern and prayers and letting me know that we are not the only ones careing for a parent. I knew we were not the only ones and I guess just kind of venting a little. well not venting but has not been easy on My wife as she had to make decisions that was best for her Mom. I backed her up all the way but was hard to at times. Enjoyed haveing her though and Miss her.
God will will be done and we continue to pray for her recovery. Sadly she is a non- believer and makes kind of hard sometimes.

Anyway, Thank you all, I appreciate you more than you will know.
