Anna, You've just proved what a GEM you are... You take care of your Grandma. I'm sure that you will see that she enjoys the last remaining years of her life and may God Bless you for doing so... _________________

Anna, you just take good care of your Grandma and enjoy what ever amount of time you have to spend together
because Grandparents are very special family and family always comes first before anything else. We will all hopefully
still be here when you return to the forums full time again.
You both will be in my thoughts and prayers. ![Very Happy](images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif) _________________ Site Moderator

Family is and should be everything. When my father-in-law passed away suddenly, I suggested to my wife that we encourage her mother to come live with us.
She had lived in Texas for almost 40 years, so moving to Utah would be a huge change. Fortunately, she agreed.
Don't worry about us. You are part of our family, we will be here if and when you need us. You are doing the right thing. _________________ DVDCoverArt

I wish you and your grandmother all the best Anna, My wife nursed her father until he passed away, so i know how tough that can be - i hope your grandmother can enjoy (sorry i can't find the right word) the time she had left.
Best wishes,
Bob. _________________ A day without wine is like a day without sunshine -hic! |

Enjoy these moments/memories as best you can.
National Family Caregivers Month, 2007
A Proclamation By the President of the United States of America
RSS Feed White House News
Each year during National Family Caregivers Month, we celebrate all those who dedicate themselves to caring for others and recognize their efforts to comfort and improve the lives of their loved ones in need.
One of our Nation's defining values is compassion, and we must do our best to see that every citizen is treated with dignity and respect. Family caregivers demonstrate this compassion, often at great sacrifice, to assist with everyday activities for family members who are elderly, chronically ill, or disabled. This dedication contributes to a culture of caring and responsibility across our country.
My Administration remains committed to supporting family caregivers by enhancing their access to services, agencies, and other providers. Late last year, I signed "The Lifespan Respite Care Act of 2006," which establishes a program to assist family caregivers in accessing affordable and high-quality respite care. The National Family Caregiver Support Program encourages cooperation among agencies and other organizations that support and work with the family caregivers. This program offers information, training, and counseling to help family caregivers assist their loved ones.
National Family Caregivers Month is a time to recognize family caregivers for their good hearts and tireless support. Their love and devotion exemplify the true spirit of America.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE W. BUSH, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim November 2007 as National Family Caregivers Month. I encourage all Americans to honor the selfless service of caregivers who support their loved ones in need.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this thirty-first day of October, in the year of our Lord two thousand seven, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and thirty-second.
GEORGE W. BUSH |

I applaud what you're doing, anna. Please stay strong! I hope you tell her how much you love and appreciate her as much as you can! When my grandpa died of cancer a few years back, I was in serious denile about thinking he would die. Before I knew it, he was so doped up on morphine and out of it ... I never really got to tell him that I loved and appreciate everything he taught me.
Much love, anna. _________________ http://www.myspace.com/animationjesus |
