Allan, this made me cry. I so care about my family ... losing mom (to a failed heart valve replacement surgery) and dad (to dementia), taking care of my sister when she gets sick and tired and irritated by the cancer crisis, helping with my nephew .... I'm hoping they're mitzvahs.

My Casey reminded me I couldn't come into the caregiving situation thinking I can fix everything. I can't fix Colleen's cancer; I can't fix Ross's disabilities. I can only help ... and love ... and help some more ... and hope I've done the right thing.

Much love to you ...

And to you, my friend. I'm sorry that my posting made you cry...unless it was a good kind of cry.

That's beautiful, Allan. And with everything you went through with your mom, it implies a generosity of spirit and a depth of love which is to be admired. And I do.
