blessed daughter

My 36 year airline career ended with my retirement March, 2009. We moved my mother into our home May, 2009 when my father passed away. She is now 93 and in good physical health. The doctor diagnosed her with dementia. She is a sweet spirit getting progressively weaker and more forgetful. My awesome husband is so supportive, even as we took a serious hit to our household budget in order for me to care for my mom. I am so blessed to have her in my life and equally blessed to have a wonderful husband and close 'family' friends to lend support.
