Wow, what an increibly thoughtful post. It's a perfect example of how accepting my fellow FReepers have been compared to those on the left who have taken every opportunity to condemn my decisions. Thank you.

Life has not been a bed of roses but there is much I would not change. In fact, I went one further and entered into a mixed-race marriage myself. It's certainly a whole lot different for me and my wife but we still, on occaision, encounter individuals whose opinion, regardless how irrelevent, is made well known. I have an enormous amount of respect for my parents knowing what it was like for them.

And I know what an incredible amount of love, hard work and dedication it takes to care for your parents; I commend you. I've been there. They must have been great parents to raise a child on whom they can rely. It truely is a testament to their parenting skills. Good luck with that and may you enjoy your folks for many years to come.

Thank you again. :-)

They (the parents) had a joint meeting with the doc today (appointment at 1:45 pm and they started dressing at 10:00 am)

Mom (who had polio as a child and is worried about its return to Grannies) got a prescription for arthritis and Dad is going to start taking an anti-depressant. He was a sergeant in WWII (orphaned at 10 and thought the Army was the best mother he ever had)...but he has been demonstrating some symptoms of depression lately.

Let me state that I am the least capable caregiver in the county.

They raised me tough...and I exact the same price from them.;-)

Long story short...God bless you and yours.

You are what makes America great!

I married a man whose childhood nickname was Tater...

When he grew up, did his nickname transition to "Tater Salad"?
