Mrs. V. is coming home tomorrow
after nearly two weeks in TN caring for her parents. She is beyond exhausted. I worry about her driving home in this state. I promised her I'd try not to worry, but it's hard.

My beloved is a good woman.

1. hi Bertha!


Congrats on your wedding. Lovely pix.

:hug: for your both. It's not easy caring for aging parents. I'm in a similar boat, but fortunately there are 4 of us kids plus my SIL to share the heavy lifting...

4. it's great that you can all pitch in
Fortunately Mrs. V. can come home with a lot less worry than she expected; they found someone everyone loves and trusts to be their full-time helper.

Thanks :hug:

9. That's great news, Bertha.
Mrs. V probably needs that added peace of mind.

I'm glad she's coming home, and even gladder that someone you all love and trust will be taking over the care.

And of course we know she's a good woman...She married you, after all...:hug:

12. It's a good time for the concentric circle theory.
She wraps around her folks, you wrap around her, your friends and family (inc us at DU) wrap around you. Great for raising babies and seeing parents off, and most tiring times. Share the load, and hang in there.
