I completely understand featherbaby. My parents are the same age. We had to put my dad in the Georgia War Veterans home due to dementia/alzheimers (that was an ordeal in itself.) My mother is in fair health, but has her 'moments' when I have to takeover a situation and/or do odd jobs around her house ( she is a hard headed Irishwoman.) I hope my kids think of me when I'm that age!
