Lil, Going down there was absolutely the right thing to do. I am so glad that my fears didn't hold me back. I am going back down on Sunday.

Both my parents have guarded their independence, but change is in the air. I talked to my mom about living with me, but she wants nothing to do with that idea. The thing is, she really can't be alone. So I still have a number of hurdles to face with both my parents. It's good to have my brother for support as well.

Growing old is quite a mind trip.
