[Yosemitest]

I spent a lot of time semi-alone on the holidays in the military.
With no children and overseas, I usually worked on the holidays, so others could be with their families.
I'm familiar with Divorce and it's one of the hardest things in life to go through.
However, there are times when my aging mother makes me desire to be somewhere else.
I do what I can, but her approaching second childhood is a real load.
Do what you can, and live where you choose, but service to others is rewarding in the end.

I appreciate what you are doing for your mom. Alzheimers runs in the family with rheumatoid arthritis and I have the arthritis. I worry about my only kid getting stuck taking care of me, but we’ll see. Make sure you take some time for yourself. I don’t know what I would do if I didn’t have my rat dawg. (Hint) Have a Merry Christmas!
