I wish there was an easy way through these parts of life, or that I could "fix it", (I LOVE to fix things!), or that I could be there with you and help with transport, meals, house work, and pour you a glass of the very best wine in the whole world (which you deserve) to go with non-fattening organic best chocolate.<br /><br />I call upon all the wise women, all the goddesses, to surround you with strength and love and wisdom. I'm glad that therapy dogs visit there.

I am so sorry that you (and your daughter and the rest of your family) have to endure this process, but am so touched that you are finding a silver lining here. <br /><br />I work in a chiropractic office and today one of our patients (an elderly lady) was in, telling us the horrors of the health care facility where her husband is recovering from surgery right now. She was so distraught when she arrived, focusing on telling us about the awful doctor, the rude administrator... It was nice that by the time she left our office her spirit had been lifted. She told us how much she appreciated our kindness, and then she told us about a few of the people at the nursing facility who had made a difference in a positive way. <br /><br />I always say that attitude is everything - pick a good one. And it sounds as if you are doing just that.<br /><br />Hang in there, Mom. I'll be thinking of you and sending healing thoughts your way. xoDeb @ PaperTurtlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00957816023851249171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8381983259145260439.post-52158333695740140212010-05-07T16:05:09.853-07:002010-05-07T16:05:09.853-07:00I so admire your attitude and forbearance.
