Thanks for the kind words.<br /><br />Vesper:<br />Your caring makes the day better for me. Thanks!<br /><br />J.B.:<br />You make me feel as if I reached an understanding heart. Thanks. May your Thanksgiving be fun and healing. :-)<br /><br />D.G.:<br />I will pray for your MIL and your husband. It must be hard for him. It was hard for me while my mother lay in the hospital dying of cancer.<br /><br />Have a holiday season more healing than you think possible.<br /><br />Wendy:<br />It's the other distracted and uncaring drivers that make my blood runs dangerous -- that plus blinding rain in the night!<br /><br />I am so pleased you liked my post. I had hoped it would touch hearts that needed to read those words. :-) Thanks for talking of it on Twitter.Roland D.

Many look to us when we visit her, to see if it's their own relatives and look sadly away when they see we are not. We talk to some of them but others are bitter that their relatives have abandoned them. During our visits I have had one senior verbally get abusive as she thought I was someone else talking to my MIL, and one lady came over and start hitting at me as once again dementia made her see things differently. <br /><br />Staff always come to my aid, and I don't get alarmed. I think how it must feel to be 'them'. They are not strong enough for the most part to hurt anyone else, they are acting out their own hurt inside, trying to understand. <br /><br />'Tis a good thing you do, Roland! D.G.

Please don't work too hard but I admire you working and covering so that others can enjoy this family time.
