Nancy, that was so beautifully written. You have a way of putting words on paper that are so expressive and compassionate.

My late mother died 15 years ago after breaking her hip, but she had suffered from multi-infarct dementia for many years. Your article made me look at it from two points of view. One, as a son, and another as the parent, since I am 74 and wonder what the future will bring to Leslie and I. Fortunately we have 3 daughters who are devoted to their parents, and one who has already prepared her house for us to live in if that is necessary.

Thank you.
