However, I am trying to stay a bit "removed" as I read this. You see, my mother is suffering from dementia and is in an assisted living home and my father lives about 15 minutes away in a retirement center. Mother is just under 80 and Daddy is just over. They only get to see each other 2 or 3 times a week. It is terribly sad to watch them deteriorate in different places. I only hope they will be able to share such a sweet goodbye before Jesus calls them home.Sunny Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15466156447055815601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1105171804337429232.post-72403698935498676652010-06-23T19:18:22.197-07:002010-06-23T19:18:22.197-07:00I am typing this with tears flowing down my cheeks...I am typing this with tears flowing down my cheeks.
