In some ways, i AM looking forward to it. At least, i'm looking forward to loving my Mom and Grandfather in a way that truly helps. Thanks for the encouragement, Cathy.

The one thing I can say is that caring for someone who can't care for themselves is the most loving thing a person can do. I stayed with my dad just before he died of cancer. And I mean I slept in the bed with him and helped him use the bathroom. I stayed in the bed with him because he was afraid of dying in the night. I felt badly because it was a bit embarrassing for him AND me. Daddy was so vulnerable in those moments and I loved him so much. I am thankful every day that I had the opportunity to serve him with a love I didn't even understand that night. Try it. You'll be amazed what love can do... I know what you mean Rob.
