Who Knows...

My folks have both become gravelly ill. I have been juggling many things at the same time this has happened more that one time but here I go again and within it all it's just something that one has to accept.

I don't write much about these things but it's my own vent as you accept the things in which you have no control and look to the higher manner of things. I guess I am a bit down with all of this but the best thing is just to keep occupied.

But you just have to go with it and work along with things.

Hence, acceptance is the key...

    It can become a big worry that constantly jiggles at the back of your brain. But as long and you are visiting and being an advocate for them with the medical system, you are being a dutiful son.

    Karyn you do all that you can do and then you just have to do a mind shift within it all. However that all said you just move along with things and it's all that one can do.
    It can as I have found as he is very sickly and she came down to be today. But you look at the best side of things.
    Our try...if you know what I mean.

    Tony I am - it's a situation that has come to be and well I moved back here and I did not expect all of this but life does go on. I have a sister that is mentally ill unfortunately with her sickness her focus is on myself - I very rarely mention this. But so be it.

    Thanks Jim, it's something when you have not one but three that you are attending too. But you focus off of these things.

    My sympathy for the stresses you're experiencing. Remember to take care of yourself while acting as the primary caregiver for your parents.

    May you find all you need within yourself to meet these circumstances---but don't be too proud to ask for help when you need it!

    I'm so sorry to hear this, Jack! It must be difficult for you to handle the stresses of parents who are unwell. I wish you every blessing, and hope you take care of yourself, so you can be there for them!

    Yeah one does not live on the Internet but for today and tomorrow, I hope to write a few things.
    I thank you and I never focus on myself within all this I enjoy the writes and so forth and all I know is that
    all good things come within time.

    I am awaiting my own test which has been done last week as at the same time can't walk that well DJ,
    but I can write... So you do what one needs to do...

    I have not broke yet and shall not...But I know to take it slower.
