The best part is that they will get to be together and I know that will make this a bit easier for them.<br /><br />I love the MTB and I'm happy to see they can still entertain an audience. There are others, like you said, that should retire and leave us with just great memories. <br /><br />I adore the simplicity of your table this week!Shellbellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14836629045327379085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7791192553677271779.post-80652804998249276482011-02-16T20:35:44.406-06:002011-02-16T20:35:44.406-06:00Continuing to keep your family in my prayers durin...Continuing to keep your family in my prayers during this difficult time, Sue.

We have been going through this stuff for a good month with my grandparents. <br /><br />Everyone is arguing over everything and my mom is so upset that there was nothing written or said specifically to anyone. With her father, she has not had any relationship with him since he divorced my grandmother and left the family without any means of support. <br /><br />So, you can imagine my moms shock when the family of the father that has had no interest in contacting her wants to know what they should do as far as putting him in and paying for assisted living, and how care should be given and whether or not he is DNR. Not fun, and even worse is their attitude about her requesting to be left out of the decision making because she really has no idea how he felt about all that, oldest child of his or not.Sophiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06807694977896968928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7791192553677271779.post-10600257702076984112011-02-14T21:43:53.297-06:002011-02-14T21:43:53.297-06:00I know it is a difficult time.
