Dear Friend,

I was sitting in Outback Steakhouse enjoying my seventh bowl of baked potato soup as part of an all you can eat soup and salad meal when I came across your post. You always struck me as a sincere, virtuous, and humble person, but never did I know of your dedication to your dear mother. You are fulfilling God’s commandment to honor your parents.

My heartfelt prayers are with you and your mother and father. May God protect you and may you draw near to the truth St Paul explains to us in Romans 8:

quote:

---

we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters. And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified.

What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things? Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies. Who then is the one who condemns? No one. Christ Jesus who died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? As it is written: “For your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.”

No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

God’s grace and blessing shine on your face today, friend.

Sincerely yours,

When my inlaws went to a Geriatric Psych unit for evaluation (they signed themselves in for free food for a week) and because the unit found he had great insurance, I learned some things. Both failed their-mental tests abysmally. My FIL failed because he was taking directions from my MIL. I found that the nurses really do watch everything they do. THere are specific social workers to interface with family who didn't have a notion of what was happening (and my husband wanted to break them out of confinement.)

Some of the other people in that locked down part of the hospital were both sad and sweet. I will never forget one little lady who had dressed very carefully for a visitor and she came up to me and asked if she knew me. I said "no" and I walked her back to the nursing station and assured her she looked nice, etc. And she asked me again if she knew me.

The whole experience was heart breaking and depressing,. At some point we realized and accepted hos powerless we were to deal with it- they were beyond our help.

Not sure of your mom's age, but my mom had similar traits.

Best advice: Get long term care insurance - something my dad neglected to get - b/c her care will be super expensive.

Wishing you guys well brother

best wishes to you and your family Jimmy
