NE, I totally understand where you're coming from, as far as your Mom is concerned. I told my children, from the very beginning, what was going on with Grandma. They knew she was slowly losing her mind and when she eventually had her stroke, knew what the prognosis was. We all cried about her situation and when she passed away in December, we were prepared for that as well. Our prayers are with you and your family as you go through this time in your lives.
When I read your posts, I can tell you're no softy. I'm not going to say that you need to be nice. You have your own take on what people post, as well as your own way of replying. What I'm getting at is, you are you, and you're the only you on here. Keep it real and be you. Happy New Year, brother.
