Yes, we have been there. We both lost our Dads in 1990 - 2 months apart. They were both capable of taking care of themselves and our Moms were pretty good then. My Dad also died of prostate and bone cancer. However, as the years passed both of our Moms became more dependent on us. Ed's Mom died in 97. She was 85. My Mom lived until 2 years ago, she was 88. Still very sound in mind but beginning to fail. It was hard to tell her we HAD to do something as we are not use to giving our parents orders. She was a woman of great faith and was ready to "go live with the Lord". That made her passing a bit easier. Be thankful for your siblings, I had to go through this alone as I lost my only sister many years ago. We will keep you and others in our prayers and thoughts. Write down the stories and where things came from. When the passing time comes, you will be amazed at what you forget.
