Oh no! All of this is sad. Except for the lovely park.
I am so sorry about your mom. It sucks getting older. It sucks to have the people who love and raised us lose their independence, their health and to see them age and suffer. It sucks to have to deal with all of these things while working and raising your own kids and to not be able to focus just completely in one direction. It sucks to not necessarily have other people to help you cope with all the things.
I hope you are able to focus and find strength as you deal with everything on your plate.
Shoot. So much suckage.
And then the bird too! 😢
So many decisions to make for her now. Her thinking and memory is impaired but she still recognizes me. At least she had a Power of Attorney or things would be crazy. Have to stay focused and see things through. I do have a friend that has gone through a similar situation and is a phone call away.
