So turns out I'm more busy running places than I was when I was able to help my dad. I'm not complaining at all. I feel so bad for what my mom is going through, it's gotta be so hard losing a spouse of 57 years. Unfortunately I can't be there as much as I feel I should, mainly because of other obligations never just because I don't want to. So next week she needs me Monday and Friday, won't get into why but neither me nor Tanner can her, appointments that can't be changed. So asked mom to call my sister to see if she could help out. She said she would but also let her know that she would be getting very little sleep.
I guess that's where the problem lies for me. I can not count the number of times I've changed my plans, rescheduled appointments and cancelled weekends planned for up north. Never ever once did I mention it to them or complain to them about anything. Why can't she just do it. My mom has enough to worry about.
I don't know...just frustrating. Me or the kids are there almost everyday, mind you not everyday. Since dad died my brother has been there twice and my sister once just to help my mom quick. I don't understand.

stereotypical, i regret to say.
console yourself in the knowledge that you are doing your duty before God, both to your Mother, and to your children by setting a proper example.

Fish is right. My brother is literally right across the street and can't walk over to see my dad! Every family had one... Or two.
Ya need to go up north! Coffee!
