You know, we are in the same situation here. All our kids and grands live in other states. There is no one here to call for help. It's just the two of us. Yes, we have neighbors and yes, we have a few friends, but none so close that I feel I can ask for favors. It's a tough situation. But, if I were facing the same thing you are, I would ask one of those neighbors or friends. I would ask them all until I found someone. I'm sure someone would step up.
You know, you would think that going to church would mean you would have a "family" close by, but our church is 45 minutes away. We are in a very rural area. So, we have to figure things out for ourselves. I'm not sure what I would do if Mike were as sick as Tom.
So, my heart goes out to you, and you are in my prayers. Just want you to know that.
Sorry, if I get put in BYC jail for mentioning my faith and prayer. Se La Vie.
