She moved in with my 85 yr. old Mother when Mom broke her hip in 2008 and has refused to move out. Making her and my Mother miserable. They bicker and disagree. My Mom just wants to live on her own in her wonderful old house that is full of memories of my Dad and our lives. My sister wants to change everything. She wants my Mother to not get old and forgetful. It is sad she cannot make her own way and find a new place to live and go on with her life. My Mother told me the other day..what will happen to me will happen whether Kim is here or not. I love her and want her to move on. We are a family of strong and independent women. I think we tend to want to control our lives a bit too much. Thereby controlling others around us. I learned a valuable lesson..life will happen and I have control over how I will react to it and not much else!! My Mom is getting very old and somewhat forgetful but she knows what she wants and is aware of her abilities.Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14819844673551315071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6252122811035264254.post-13708896742279779442011-02-02T14:52:49.667+00:002011-02-02T14:52:49.667+00:00Great story and perfect message.

I currently have my 92 year old mother with me; her vision is limited so yes, spills and 'stuff' all over her eating place; but no one comments; we all know the dear old soul would be so mortified if she knew. <br /><br />Funny your post should appear now, the other day while lacing her snowboots I wondered how often and how patiently she had laced mine!<br />Her mind is still so sharp, still inquisitive and wanting to know 'what is that' when she hears of a new product. Her body is just having difficulty keeping up with her mind just now. <br /><br />She watches a daily soap and I hope I don't become 'hooked' on her soap; since she can't really see the characters I have to transcribe what is happening in the 'soap'.<br />When I feel exhausted my daughter reminds me 'patience mother, I may have to do the same for you'!Rubyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06097711103500084389noreply@blogger.com
