Thank you, gentleman. I do appreciate it, and possibly more than you might think.
I am not blood in this situation, but that alone is not a reason to care less about people who are struggling through a tough deal. Folks who are losing their mental capacity can say some very cruel and hurtful things to the very people that are bending over backwards to deliver comfort to them....while they are doing it. Lucid times mingle with the extreme alternative/opposite versions. I didn't know that was part of this process.
The bottom line of learning about this, for me.....is that I don't ever want to be that age and that state of incapacity. Or to burden people I know. I never want to be like that for my sake, or theirs.
