As I see my father age as much as he has it gets harder. I see how excited my dad gets to see his grandchildren and not as excited to see me. I know how much he loves us but I think of it as it reminds them of what youth is like and how wonderful it can be. I also think that your mother knows you understand how she is feeling but may not want to show the same response to your children as it is harder for them to understand. I would have a very hard time explaining such things to my children. I wish you the best and know that you are getting virtual (((hugs))) from New England.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4294832262447672396.post-7341856806665117182008-07-23T15:15:00.000-03:002008-07-23T15:15:00.000-03:00Michelle - I am so sorry.

On his last day (he died at home) my mom and I were with him, as well as my brother's wife. My dad never liked his daughter-in-law (for good reason).<BR/><BR/>As the 3 of us stood by his bed, he pushed my mom's hand away and reached for - the DIL. It was such a shock to my mom. Very hurtful, even though we are certain my dad probably didn't know who was who by his bedside.<BR/><BR/>Doesn't take away the pain of the hurt though.<BR/><BR/>{{{hugs}}}Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4294832262447672396.post-87628570096208604742008-07-23T08:03:00.000-03:002008-07-23T08:03:00.000-03:00((((Casdock))))I am truly sorry, my friend.((((Casdock))))<BR/>I am truly sorry, my friend.Michelle Morgan-Coolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03671529553739362752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4294832262447672396.post-11630605447058727052008-07-23T04:51:00.000-03:002008-07-23T04:51:00.000-03:00That was interesting, thank you for sharing.I can ...That was interesting, thank you for sharing.<BR/>I can understand abit how hard this must be for you as my father is also dying.Casdokhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03497897393162856190noreply@blogger.com
