Seastar

Mom is 85 and she now lives with me full time. We take this journey day by day and even though her memory wanders from time zone to time zone, I try hard to enjoy every minute. She's one of the most precious persons in my life, so this is very frightening for me. Though I am very grateful to have her here, I am also very concerned about burnout.
