Hmmm...it'll be 10 by the time I get there, hon. Besides, Anya would be a perfect angel for me, just to prove her mother wrong. Oh, do I know how that goes! :lol: :kiss:

Well, they should have a choice, but they should realize being stubborn isn't getting them anywhere about the issue when others think it would be best for them.

I feel like this is on the horizon for us as well. Dad is getting rather tottery and was just diagnosed with diabetes, and Mom shakes like crazy, especially when she stresses, and the woman stresses at the drop of a hat, always has.......oh.....*breathes*
I feel for you Bun, I really do - that can't be easy.

Do you like it when others think they know what's best for you?
These are adults we're talking about, right?

It's not that they're taking her choice away... they just want to know what choices she wants to make about her own care. She has told them NOTHING about what kind of care she wants if something happenes to her. Life support, feeding tubes, that kind of thing. I know it's tough to contemplate your own mortality, but as a parent I would want to make it easier on my kids.
Of course!

Ah, I see now. Bun, that has got to be hard on them and you...I am so sorry for what you are going through.
Nope. And that's the problem. No one likes to be told what to do. And I don't blame them. But it's hard to watch them struggle. Especially when they keep falling down and not being able to help each other back up and not wanting to let anyone know when they fall...keeping it a secret. It would be nice if they could see that there were other options besides what they had. But alas, I think it's money issues that's really keeping them where they are. Too much to get into with that though. And that's not something anyone can help.

Oh, the secret-keeping - yep, know all about that one. If my dad has his way, we'd know none of this...but y'know, tough. At least for right now, his diabetes can be controlled with diet. And he doesn't want to give an answer about his final wishes either. I know no one likes to dwell on things like this, but family needs answers to those questions. Losing Mike's mom at age 49 taught us that. She of course had nothing planned, because who plans for cancer? But having to make those decisions after her passing was truly hard for everyone...

I'm with you on the planning ahead thing. Ever since my brother passed away very suddenly, my whole family is very open with our wishes if we die. DH hates talking about it, but I know that it would be more difficult for him to have to make those choices when I'm gone than for him to listen to me talk about them now. He even knows what songs I want at my memorial.

Oh, I LOVE applebee's - especially their wings. :lookaroun I take it you had a bad experience there?
It's funny you mentioned songs, there was one we sung at Sunday morning worship that I want - of course, now that I'm trying to remember, the title escapes me. I really need to write this stuff down....:lol:

Well... I don't remember ever having a good experience there. Maybe it's just the few that are in our area. :shrug:
You should! DH knows that I definitely DO NOT want "Amazing Grace," because I can't get through that song now without crying, after my brother died. There's a version of "How Great Thou Art" that is mixed with "How Great Is Our God" that I LOVE and want to be sung.

Big hugs to Bunny. This cannot be an easy decision for you and DH. Although outside care for her may be the best thing. My grandmother was diagnosed with memory loss 10 years ago. My family tried to keep her in her home for as long as possible, even after my grandpa passed away in 2005, but she's been in a nursing home for about 3-4 years. It's been the best thing for her as she's getting much better care there.

Well, y'all, since we're on the subject...
When I kick it, I don't want a Mass. I want to be laid out in my parlour and it is a rule that everyone stroll on up and say "Oh, she looks so peaceful!" Bring the kids. Also, I want a Coors Light in my right hand and a Marby Light in my left. Then I want to be cremated and my urn taken to Reese's in Warminster. Slap that up on the bar and then go to the juke box and play Frank doing "The Lady is a Tramp". And then "That's Life".
After that play a lot of Backstreet Boys.
Consider this my Living Will.
Also? I am a major "yes, please do resuscitate, " .

Nibbsy...sorry honey. It makes me so sad to hear they are keeping secrets like that. If they need anything I can help with, say the word.

:wave: Hello all! Feel like I haven't been here forever! I never seem to be on the computer when anyone is here.
Miss Mia had her 10 month appointment today. How in the world is she already 10 months?? She is cruising everyone she can and really really close to walking. She took a couple steps today at Gymboree before face planting into a bucket and giving herself a nice scratch and bruise.
Next week Mia and I are headed to PA for a week for my cousin's bridal shower and some house hunting. We are going to fly to Baltimore and ride to PA with some family. It's a round about way of getting there, but it will probably end up being less travel time than if I drove myself. I will get the fun experience of navigating the airport with her by myself. I'm sure it will be loads of fun! :lol:
I think that is about all that is happening here. Hope everyone is doing well!
