Reply #21: After my 90 year-old mother's death on the 4th of July

[Iwillnevergiveup]

my 90 year-old dad moved in with me. They had been living independently, but he is much too frail to be by himself. He has a modest nest egg along with Social Security, and his main concern is leaving "something" for me and my brother. I told him we have to reach an agreement whereby what's mine is his and what's his is mine and that the greatest gift he could give us would be to spend it ALL down, mostly on him! Sure, my quality of life has drastically changed, but his has drastically improved. So I can say the same goes for me.

Hearts afire for all the caregivers - family and otherwise.
