I moved back to my home state early 2014 to facilitate my folks remaning at home.They had me a little lateron in life & are bothn their mid 90's. Both still active ( I take them for 30+ min workouts @ Planet fitness 3-4x/week), but both stopped driving w/in a couple years of my being back here. I also work PT, but M-F plus running errands, takingthem to gym & church.Dad fell & broke his left hip on 13 Dec. It was repaired by 15th & he was standing & a little walking day after. he went on to recup rehab later that week & is still there for another week & half. It is a good place but is abt 25 mins from house (we live in a rural area, also mountainous), so taking mom back & forth to see him everyday, plus if i have to make an additional trip right after work for appointments, meeting w/ care staff, etc....... There is no family w/in 3hrs, I have no siblings, & they have outlived their friends/acquaintances, so just time or creative energy for cards.If you ever got one from mye back when, you may remember I always 'Police-itized' those cards, even tried to include a small thing for tree most years, so just no way these days. Someday.............you all are all fondly remembered each year by tho'-it was fun while it lasted!!
