Congratulations, sounds like a perfect evening. What are you reading? I found a new episode of Midsomer Murders and felt like I had won the lottery :sweat_smile:

Oh Thomas im so sorry to hear about your mom. I do hope she is getting the care she needs and has someone by her side. I understand how nerve-wracking it can be to be so far away and not be able to contact her.
Sending healing vibes!!! :pray::pray::people_hugging:

@JennyH thank you. She is very sick and she got a virus that makes her vomit. She is 85 . This is why I am so nervous and with stress. I call her every night and she helps me to be sober

@JennyH and @JazzyS thank you. I put the issue here because always I find someone here. I appreciate it. I am 47 but I feel sometimes like a child

I am 42 and feel like a child all the time. I have my own children and often can’t quite believe it. I don’t think anyone is ever ready to feel like the grownup in a situation where their parents are ill.

I agree with Jenny - i am 45 and also feel like a child.

Yes! I know im not ready to act or feel like a grownup.
I do hope your mom recovers and is back home soon.

Checking in, have just made Day 25. The funeral yesterday was not very nice so have resisted writing much. I haven’t really known what to say as seem to be holding a lot of anger. I will process it, and in a healthy way.

I have been to a lot of funerals (as have most I expect), and normally you cry and you celebrate. Sadly, this didn’t feel like closure. She deserved better but it wasn’t in our power to give it. Rambling now…

I hope everyone is OK and has a good Friday.

@JennyH and @JazzyS and all those who prayed for my mother. I want to tell you that she is in home now and with my father. She needs to rest but out of danger. Thank you from the bottom of my heart
