They brought tears to my eyes. Sounds like you did your very best for both your parents. I admire that you did all this while you were working. Mum is still in her own home at the moment but after caring for her myself for a long time after dad passed away ( No other family except my wonderful and helpful husband) I now have carers in to help since her diagnosis of Alzheimers. Thankfully I am now retired and live near to mum so can visit often and still do all I can every day. Sadly mum isn't at peace as she knows something is wrong but cannot understand what is happening to her. Her memory is fleetingly short and she is anxious and confused a lot of the time. It is truly an awful condition. The worst thing is knowing that no matter what I do I cannot make mum better. The nurse's visit yesterday just reinforced that feeling. We just continue to do our best and help her enjoy things in the moment even though she cannot remember them afterwards. Thanks again.</p></blockquote><p></p>
