Mo, my hats off to you and your wife, most honorable.

My Mother, almost 88 is getting very close and she is still living in her own house, she has a saint niece that helps her almost every day so she can get to the Doc or whatever. She does not drive anymore and she might not leave the house for weeks at a time. She has a wonderful house keeper that shows up to clean her house every other week and since there really isn't anything to clean they talk.

I live in WA state and my only brother lives in FL state, opposite sides of the country and my Mom lives in WI. We have both tryed yrs ago after Dad died to get her to either come to my place or my brothers, nope....as she says,"I was born in Wi and I will die in WI, besides that is where your father and my parents are buried".

We can't convince her to go to a retirement place, that is were old people live, OK.
