Bless you, Howlin. My mother is infirm and I am not close enough to care for her. She does, however, have a large network of my cousins and her brother and sister nearby.
When I was a child, my grandmother lived with us. My mother and her siblings at one time lived with their grandmother. It's a pity that more people either do not or cannot help care for their extended family.
Don't bless me; pray for me........'cause some days I'd like to smack her.....LOL.
But we do have to take care of our family!
