I can'...No wonder she had a high blood pressure<br />I can't imagine how cruel her sons are specially the one who was 5 minutes away. These sons deserve to be treated the same way by their children.<br />You know this reminded me of a similar story from our religion in which a wife was tired of the presence of her sick father-in-law in the house. The house is originally the old man's house. She forced her husband to kick his father out.<br />The husband took the man to a mosque for prayer and excused him for a while. Before he goes, the old man told his son "I know you would leave me here, since I did the same with my own dad. I kicked him out from his own home. I took him to the same mosque and left him there.<br />Bernie you are sooooooooooo kind and you deserve the best. God bless you for your concern for the old lady.Shimohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12763119435189332388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3332172694810833250.post-34364439483281145362009-11-17T15:08:27.057-07:002009-11-17T15:08:27.057-07:00I agree with you Bernie, that irrespective of what...I agree with you Bernie, that irrespective of what has happened in that family, she still deserves to be treated with love and care. For humanities sake!<br /><br />That was exceptionally kind of you to have spent time comforting her and staying by her side. May God bless you!

Kids are raising kids, and parents are stepping out of the picture, when I grew up and even now that I am older my family is the only one who will be there for you threw everything life throws your way. We have to stay tight, and stay together. I have raised my children with all the love I could give, I do not have money for possessions and the items in life that many other kids have, but I give them love, and they are truly the most wonderful little girls I could've ever asked for, they are caring and understanding. I pray that when I am 85 my children and grandkids are there and care for me the way that I have cared for them.<br /><br />God bless you have a wonderful week,<br />HeidiAbatevintagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10292748128225428200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3332172694810833250.post-73977249349461231932009-11-15T11:05:50.790-07:002009-11-15T11:05:50.790-07:00Whew!
