Oh boy. My hat's off to your generosity. :sunot:
She’s a super great grandma. Had to sell her house that she and hubby bought in 1969, with a pool and all, in Sacramento just last week. This year has been rough. First my wife’s dad, then her uncle passed away. Uncle Keith was grandma’s caretaker after her husband passed away, and then Keith died of pancreatic cancer just about a month ago. So we’re happy to have her. Still tough to think about all that’s gone on this year so far. Whenever I see grandma Joyce, Keith’s presence was a given. [emoji22]

So nice to hear how much you care about her. You hear so many horror stories about elder abuse. Makes me sick, and so sad. Imo America DOES NOT respect or care for their elderly as they should. Younger people today can't or don't think far enough ahead to realize that they'll be old some day. Everyone gets old one day.

Amen brother! We don’t want our parents / grandparents to go to a home unless it’s absolutely necessary. My grandpa in San Jose turned 99 just last month, and he’s still a bowler!! [emoji106][emoji16][emoji631]

Yeah my daughter works at an elder care facility as a nurse assistant, and going to school to be a nurse which she is a couple months away from. Last night she was telling me about a client that she spent a half hour brushing her hair because nobody had taken the time to do for a long time so it was a mess. The lady was Russian and didn’t speak much English but she knew how to say thank you much. They just need some compassion but most workers in those facilities don’t care. And right now it’s super important because they haven’t been able to see family since Covid hit. They’re just so alone right now, and so many have died alone lately. My daughter is a great person who cares. She has seen some of her favorite clients die of Covid over the last few months which is ******* her. She is my own personal hero.
