Subject: RE: BS: What made you happy today
Thanks Bert

Genie my condolensces and I understand how you feel.

Last year my father passed away at 90 (almost 70 years married), leaving my mother alone in a nursing home with macular degeneration, angina, arthritus, poor circulation, wheelchair bound and in nursing care.

He could have run in the olympics but his parents couldn't afford the cost in those days. Fit as a fiddle up to 6 months before he passed away. Then he went really down hill and wanted to end it. I was happy when it was over.

My mother is not handling it at all and is so depressed and has had enough. The kindest thing anybody could do is help her on her way.

Keep at it and think of the good things about you Dad.

best wishes.

Les
