Paul, wishing you strength to get thru these difficult times.

I lost my mom 4 years ago at 88. It was a blessing as she [and the rest of us] battled her Alzheimer's for over a dozen years. Dad is still living independently at almost 92. When he goes I'll be the "old" man in the family.

But the biggest blessing of all was having caring, loving parents who always provided support, a pat on the back, not to mention a swift kick in the a$$, especially when each were desperately needed.
