Crap weekend for me

[Ms Grumpy]

Gary, I lost my dad when I was 9, so my mom was pretty much both parents to me. Today we had her over to our house for a BBQ. It was storming, so I called to see if she wanted us to pick her up. She bought a condo earlier this year and my oldest daughter moved in with her to help her out, emotionally and financially. My daughter is moving out next month, and my mom seems OK with it. But I worry, she is in her upper 70's and will be living alone. With hearing of your mothers fall, I worry that if something happens, that no one will be there to help. I would do anything for my mother, unlike my siblings. They are more interested in what mom will leave them, I am more interested in mom never leaving.

I hope for a quick recovery of your mother in law. Make sure your wife takes care of herself too. Keep us informed as to how everyone is doing.
