Aging Parent(s)

[Drunk Monk]

It’s actually fine for now. My mom is doing great, all things considered. She drives me nuts as parents do, like last week she lost her hearing aid again and kept going ‘what? What?! WHAT?!? Well, you don’t have to yell.’ But she’s enjoying her life, still going to museum exhibits, concerts and plays, and golfing. I’m grateful for every evening I still can spend with her, and am fine with the chores she leaves for me. It’s surreal to spend a night a week in the house i grew up in, and I often find myself searching for the ghost of my father when there, counting the nights until inevitable change will shatter this comfortable routine we have since my dad passed. 

At least you guys got sibs. Am I the only DOOM only child? That might explain a lot.

I’m curious where your mom ended up. I know several of the homes from my dad’s situation and wonder if it is one of them.
