I took on the task of caring for my father and going against the surgeons advice. he was very supportive us trying to get my father stronger and possibly shrinking the mass. he was diagnosed with cancer. it has not spread. we find out monday what the staging is.

My father list 1/2 his blood. he went in for a transfusion and found out about the cancer upon further testing. he was very weak and unable to walk. still cannot walk. however, he did get on his 4 wheeler. every day he is improving. there is no way cuomo is killing my father.

i felt horrible my grandmother ended up in a nursing home. she was there for everyone and no one was there for her. i will not do that to my father. too many people are dying needlessly. it us not easy but it is not the hardest either. he has escaped deaths grips. i just hope he does not have organ damage from the doctors neglect and mismanagement.

karma is real.

Thank you for taking care of your father. You are blessed with wisdom. ❤️

I was so lucky to have my maternal grandmother alive til I was 13 y, I am the youngest of 4 siblings. She was a gem ❤ but at age 83 she got a stroke and passed 2 months later. My maternal grandfather lived til I was 25 - he had severe dementia, the old type where they want to go back home to their mom, with nasty language. My children grew up in my mothers house, on her farm - then I ran the farm for a few years, and she was the go to for homework and all - one of us was always there. In less than a month my mother turns 90 years and she is still driving her car, also to town and she do not live close to town. My children talk to her on the phone on a regular basis, and I know they love 💖 The value of her participation in being part of bringing up my children can not be valued in money or gold!

My uncle passed away decades ago. his wife never married again. she will be 103 years old. all her children took care of them. My uncle was crippled and in a wheelchair. i think he was 65 when he died. All of their children and grand children help take care of her. she is a very active lady. loved being out on the farm. i use to love to listen to their stories. you learn a lot from the elderly. one marriage. dedication to family and true family values.

Problem is that people now adays don't feel they have time or ability to take care of there loved ones! Old or young it seems they don't matter just themselves are all that count!

Selfishness is a disorder we’re born into. Combating selfishness is a severe challenge, but if we do that and take care of others, the Lord can enter our hearts and grant us His loving protection. Then we feel whole and happy. Self serving isn’t true happiness. My mother has always had a difficult personality, hard on each of her four children, so we stayed away. I prayed a lot and decided to do something about it and moved near her to be helpful to her. In the past five years she has been able to rely on me for her needs and wants, things are much better between us. The others still stay away with hard feelings about the past. I thank the Lord that He guided me to overcome selfishness and past hurts.
