[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 650617, member: 17461"] You have alot on your plate, but you sound strong and centered. And very loving. :O) I am so happy to hear Grandpa is taking these changes well. Maybe it is easy to fall into selfishness when we are older and trapped in a world where we cannot move through our challenges easily. I am sure he feels like a better person when he can be kind to you, too. That is a nice thing to have come out of all this. I am happy for you, and for Grandpa, too. It took alot of courage for you to stand up to him, and to the situation like that, remember? So now, you know you have courage, and you know you are assessing your situation accurately. Those are good things to know, and that will serve you well going forward. Good! :) You seem clearer and more focused where your son is concerned too. This also makes me very happy. Good job!!! :hugs: D H and I were talking to our 22 year old granddaughter once. She asked me what mattered in life. I said education. She then asked her grandfather what mattered, what was the most important thing, how could she know what to strive for in life. You know what he told her? Independence. A job. A place to live that is your own. A life where you can choose how you will live your life. I thought that was very wise of D H. Cedar [/QUOTE]
