I used to write

But lately it just seems hard.  It would do me a world of good to write and sort of let out some of the tension that comes from dealing with difficult situations that life has brought my way.  But, I know that some of the people who read this are just not interested and should I do it?  I also have learned that in spite of my best intentions, what I write affects other members of my family who did not choose to make their lives public.

So, now that you are wondering if Leo and I are having a major issue  – NO.  We are just fine. 

I am simply having to deal with those end of life issues that any of us who care for elderly relatives have to deal with.  And it is just very hard.  I am not the type who makes a decision and that’s that.  I have to agonize over what is best; what is the right course of action. It is easier making decisions for myself, but life and death decisions for another person are a different matter.

Today that is what the day was all about.  It looks like the right decision was made.  The next few days will tell, I guess.  Auntie F is in hospital and is getting good pain control, hydration and tonight when I left her was already looking better. 

Those of you who know my auntie – She and I would appreciate your prayers for her peace and comfort.
