[QUOTE="Star*, post: 180171, member: 4964"] Jo, Reading your post made my brain so quiet. I guess we all get so caught up in our own struggles or what we perceive as hardships that we have no real clue what a hardship is day to day. I sat here and visualized what a day in your life must be like with your Mom, for you - and also what it must be like to have once been sharp as a tack like your Mom and now ask repeatedly things that are so unfamiliar like the tattoo issue. I'm glad your daughter is able to find some softness and humor in it for her grandma. She sounds like she has a huge heart. I'm glad she's stayed away from the apechild. (visions of knuckles dragging the ground and her putting old fashioned roller skates under his hands to keep them from getting bad) I'm really sorry that this is your world. I often felt like when my dad died so suddenly I got ripped off, and still do occasionally. It sounds as if you're able to take the best of a bad situation and have learned to accept the change with dignity and grace. What you're doing for your Mom is remarkable. We all know life goes on, but in the mean time you've found a way to hear music in the chaos and continue to love. Bravo. Hugs STtar [/QUOTE]
