I had the issue with coffee, she could drink 10 cups if you let her because on her "Mind" that was only number two cup, I ended replacing the coffee for "Ensure" that has the same color, taste, I simply warm that up and I have been able to control that issue.

Dealing and trying to think that they will understand will not happen. Is up to us to make one more push and care for them at all causes.

I am terrifying when she is gone that I will have to deal with guilt because I dint do enough, that's my drive, everyday.

Hang in there and stay on course.

this is heavy. just wanted to chime in to tell you Guilt is no good. my mom raised me on guilt and it really defines who i am today. i fight it everyday. just do what is right and dont give Guilt the credit. youre doing what's right becaue of you.
