Family...

She hasn’t been feeling well, tired, coughing.  Her doctor gave her an antibiotic thinking she might be getting pneumonia.  She coughed during the night a few times, but not enough to wake her up.  Funny how just 2 nights ago she was up moving around when I got there again, active, yet then she will be really tired, ready for bed by 8:30.  

I know I've said this before, but there are days it’s hard knowing I have to leave, especially when my oldest is home.  There is so much sacrifice made by the family members, I cannot even begin to imagine. For my family and me it’s just me not being home at night.  Sometimes I see the faces of my daughters’ when they know I have to leave, my youngest will be going to bed and say she doesn’t want me to go; my oldest is silent, but her face says it too.  My husband and son don’t say much, must be a guy thing :) .  I have told my youngest that it won’t be much longer, while I don’t really know when, I sense my time is almost finished, for whatever reason.

What do people do that can’t afford help at home, or cant afford a facility?  Something needs to change…
