hug, margaret! the wisdom isn’t about me. the wisdom is for all of us. these little quotes are super useful and wise :).

My life has been so utterly consumed by all the POA, medical POA issues with Mom is MC, stuff with the estate, now G&C with an estate inventory due in a few weeks, sold 2 properties long distance, etc, etc, that what is left is given fully to my 2 grandkids and adult daughter who live with me - my joy is found in the Gkids. hard to be the axis that my family and parents' lives revolve on.
Did I mention the pain and inability to sleep? The stress?
I'll be happy to land in a hospital bed for a night or two and be knocked out to sleep and rest. And I look forward to recovering and regaining my mobility and lost lower limb strength.
I know that growing older is not for the faint of heart, but seriously?
