Mom

Hey Reynolds - I think the Dave Ramsey is a great idea. But you'll have to fill it out with her, and go over it reapeatedly with her.

Dad's needs were easy compared to Mom's. I just don't know what to do at this point. I know we're all overwhelmed with our own lives. What to do about Mom just isn't really obvious. I keep thinking about the Johnson's up the street, and how Mom used to say they were left alone by their kids when they needed intervention. Wonder how Mom would feel about intervention? And how the hell could she have no clue what she did 24 hours before I talked to her??? Someone mentioned Mom's anger. I think Mom's always had anger issues. And I also think Dad covered up for her dementia for years. I asked him about it once when he was in Hospice Atlanta, and he confirmed that he did. Do we leave her where she is and act like everything's just peachy? I don't know the answer. And I did NOT read her long term care policy this weekend because of the asthma. But I will. Reading it really doesn't help though if we have no direction.

Love y'all,
Kathy
