Debbie, Itis the fourth of July weekend and my Mom and I are alone. The sitters are off this weekend and my sister is having her annual cook-out so it is just me as the caretaker. My son and his family came yesterday and brought food which we all enjoyed. They stayed with us almost all afternoon then were back after church today. Now they are gone. Still, it is only me taking care of Mom's personal needs and getting up and down with her all day and some in the night. I have never gotten use to the lonliness without my Joe and I know if he were here things could be handled better. The story of life should not be this way for anyone. Mom cried some today which makes me wat to cry. She is so miserable. We are looking at about 5 or 6 more weeks here at home before moving her to the total care facility.
My sister and I are sort of on edge with each other and that really bothers me. She calls Mom to make sure I am here with her and that angers me. Mom has never been alone as my social life is zilch with the exception of the grocery store and church when I can go, nevertheless Mom is not left alone for that. Mom knows my sister is hard on me and expects me to give my all and that hurts her even more. She should not even know this much less worry about it. Sorry for the crying time but I just had to vent. Things are not too good at all.
