Reply #3: i spent over two years caring for my father while he was dying -- the last year

[xchrom]

full time . he was bedridden.

i did everything for him. i mean everything.

people from my priest to hospice folk were always saying you have to take time out for yourself -- you have to do xyz or you'll burnout.

well, there was simply no one to do what i did -- and we didn't have money to hire anyone else.

i did it -- i did what i had to do. i didn't burn out -- and i didn't give up.

that's the way it is sometimes -- you have to take care of your family -- do what needs to be done.

you have my respect -- and my thoughts.
