There's something new up my sleeve and in the works: a new blog dedicated solely to the everyday ins and out of aging parents. I call it "Sweetheart Mabel Rose Petal Darling", which is how I addressed anyone as a very young child when I really wanted something to go my way. My mom loved this.` Pulling it out of my bag of tricks during this time of change.
Stay tuned!
Good luck and blessings to you. My father in law passed away at home last week after years of Alzheimer's. Caregiving is such a challenging patchwork of providers and strategies.

Your mom is going to be living with you? What a gift! A gift that will be difficult in many ways, I'm sure. Very challenging. But a nice circle of life, as she cared for you when you were young, and now you can return the favor. Take very good care of yourself, I suspect it can't be an easy adjustment to make for either of you.
