Thanks for your stories and encouragement, everyone!! We know it will be a good outcome for her and for us...we worry about her, and will feel better when we have her here. She wants to be useful, and feels she can help me...I have RA which is under control now, but who knows what the future will bring? Anyway, we are looking forward to this arrangement, and will count every day with her as a blessing from God!!

My mom lived with us for 14 1/2 years. She had Alzheimer's, but it wasn't too bad until about 3 years before she died in 2005. My husband's employer offered the long term employees a buy out in 2002, so he took it, and we took care of her 24/7. It's certainly not the easiest thing to do, but it's doable. Best wishes to you and your family.

my parents moved in with me about a year ago. dad is 84 and pretty healthy, jsut slowing down, mom is 80 with bad health. mom uses supplemental oxygen, falls easily, can't do much.
i've been single and living alone for the past decade. i work full time then come straight home to cook meals for my parents. sometimes it starts to feel like a burden but i remind myself how fortunate i am to still have parents. we get along most of the time and my dad does part of the chores.

It will work out - and when it is all said and done, you'll look back and consider it a blessing. The verse you have in your signature line says it all - it is one I refer to often. Please consider keeping us updated - how soon will the move take place?
