Di, interesting, and what a tribute to her after all these years. _________________________ Founder Emeritus of Boomer Women Speak and the National Association of Baby Boomer Women. www.nabbw.com www.boomerwomenspeak.com

Anno Member Registered: 09/15/05 Posts: 4434 Loc: Minneapolis Minnesota	Thanks for that answer Di. I am sure that the impact of loosing a parent while you are so young is quite different than my own. Thanks for the perspective. Anne, so do you feel abandonned? Dennis parents died when he was young, and he feels that way at times. _________________________ Follow our story of living, loving and laughing with a debilitating disease: http://www.multiplesystematrophyandshy-drager.blogspot.com

Princess Lenora Member Registered: 11/11/04 Posts: 3503 Loc: Colorado	Anne, I totally agree with you. The way that my grandmother got to live to 102 in her own home was due to money to pay for what she needed at the time, including 24/7 home health care. _________________________ "Destiny is not a matter of chance, it is a matter of choice." http://beyondthetears.blogspot.com http://www.facebook.com/lynn.tolson http://www.facebook.com/pages/Beyond-the-Tears-A-True-Survivors-Story/130880013605676

Dotsie Founder Registered: 07/09/08 Posts: 23647 Loc: Maryland	I think all of this watching our parent's generation failing is really awakening our generation to what may possibly lie ahead. We may think we have control over it by exercising, eating well, taking supplements, etc, but I'm sure we all know people who have done the same and ended up suffering with some ridiculous disease. Anything can happen to any of us at any time. Pretty freaky to think about. I prefer not to go there. One day at a time. But we still have to financially prepare as best we can. _________________________ Founder Emeritus of Boomer Women Speak and the National Association of Baby Boomer Women. www.nabbw.com www.boomerwomenspeak.com

jabber Member Registered: 02/17/05 Posts: 10032 Loc: New York State	I had three mothers. My birth mom left me when I was 25 months old. My adoptive mom raised me and I love her for all her hard work, her giving spirit, and the lessons imparted. My spiritual mom polished my soul with Godly strength and scripture. All 3 moms left a part of themselves in my being. 2 R dead; 1 is dying.

Dotsie Founder Registered: 07/09/08 Posts: 23647 Loc: Maryland	Anne, it will also get worse because boomer's kids are spread all over the country/world. I don't know why but it seems unfair when soemone who takes care of themselves ends up suffering, then the person who smoked and drank lives on. But life isn't fair. Don't we all know that by now? jabber, thanks for sharing so openly about your moms. Love the fact that you have a spiritual mom. Would be n eat for us to be that spiritual mom to others. _________________________ Founder Emeritus of Boomer Women Speak and the National Association of Baby Boomer Women. www.nabbw.com www.boomerwomenspeak.com

jabber Member Registered: 02/17/05 Posts: 10032 Loc: New York State	That's how it is with my spiritual mom: She never smoked, drugged, or indulged in alcohol. Now she's in a facility with alcoholics and younger folks sickened by nicotine. She's suffering. And other residents continue smoking and abusing themselves with whatever they can get their hands on. _________________________ https://www.amazon.com/author/bonnie.mill-lemke https://kdp.amazon.com/en_US/bookshelf

jabber Member Registered: 02/17/05 Posts: 10032 Loc: New York State	About mom. The adoptive mom who raised me, was intelligent but only went through high school. She was friendly, fun, loving, caring, and extremely frugal. Her mom was all those things, too. Both of 'em complained about nothing, badmouthed nobody, and loved the little things in life, like: birds, scenery, warm breezes, small streams, big waterfalls. They were hardworking and honest! And I'm so grateful they adopted me. My adoptive mom & dad and maternal grandparents lived through the Great Depression and were 4 of the greatest people to ever walk the earth. God blessed my life beyond expression, having lived with and known such awesome humans!!!!
