If I get to the point where I am in very bad mental and physical condition, I just want to go home to be with the Lord. @ Hattie - People on the outside looking in make judgments based on perceptions, they don't know the real deal. @Elizabeth - Nice to have my Twitter friends stop by. Gladys does have it rough, but we try to make life a little easier for her. @Judy – I’m with you.

@ Hattie – People on the outside looking in make judgments based on perceptions, they don’t know the real deal.

@Elizabeth – Nice to have my Twitter friends stop by. Gladys does have it rough, but we try to make life a little easier for her.

I used to get that all the time re: my mother in law. She could manage to be social and with it for about 1/2 hour and then she would fall apart. People said we were "spoiling her" and letting her become dependent and so on, when really she could not manage at all! Right. I used to get that all the time re: my mother in law.

I'm so sorry Gladys is in such pain - and that it takes you 2 1/2 hours to get her ready to go. Oh my. My mother is most engaging also and people who visit will comment that she's doing so well. They see her or talk with her for a short period of time every so often and don't really get a real life view. If I have a choice – I want to go home and not linger around here!
