Uh oh, my neck & shoulder muscles are getting tense.

Well, I can sure understand why! I hope your siblings are taking some of the burden of this difficult family situation off of your shoulders. It so often happens that the care of a parent all falls on one person, I truly hope that is not the case with you.

I know your plate is full, but hope you will be able to check in every so often and let us know how you are doing.

Take care, friend.

Thank you.

I have a sister who has done tons for me on the phone & the computer. She has also made a few trips to get copies of deeds. One brother started out helping me but has kind of bailed. We think he’s having a hard time handling dad’s eventual death. My other sister was severely abused by dad & has a grandchild she is caring for now & some other problems. Both of my sisters have done the lion’s share of the work caring for our mother. Another brother has volunteered to help with dad’s stuff but I don’t know what to have him do yet & have a hard time getting him on the phone. Our youngest brother is in his 20’s & busy raising his family. We have not asked him for much at this point. When it boils down, someone has to kind of direct all the activity, so generally at least one person ends up doing a lot of work regardless.

Thank you again.
