Venting....
"Be Silly, Be Honest. Be Kind"
(Emerson)
Today R and I went shopping, I bought some junk and a mini-panetone. We visited Uncle L for a while and then inspected 2 nursing homes that may eventually become his future resident. What sad places they are to walk in to, our beloved ancestors grouped together like a herd of cattle in a poor excuse for a "home" with strangers to care for them. Most do not know where they are, but is that a good reason to place your own parent in one? A parent that loved you, raised you and was always there for you. People just don't want to deal with the old, they think these people are useless now of no good use to anyone. Just remember these elderly people were young once and if God wills it you will someday become old. Do you want to spend your few remaining years in a nursing home? I think not. After I saw one place, I just felt like saying
'take me out in the parking lot and kill me now, before I get that way'
I haven't heard from D yet and I am beginning to worry....but the Drama Queen is back to her old antics. Maybe God is testing me through her, seeing how much I can take before I go "crazy" lol. Why are some people so darn good and others just so bad? Why do we remember the bad more then the good?
