I'm honored to read your elder care updates and doubt very much I'll ever be bored by them.
Selfishly, they help remind me that I'm far from alone in my own experiences of realities of helping with elder parents and other loved ones. Years and years (and years) ago, Bruce Pelz reminded me that if we don't take care of ourselves -- the person in the middle of our lives -- we won't have the energy or capability to help take care of others. My own Daddy reminded me of that years earlier still. Life keeps reminding me just how hard it is to do.
