Karen, dear, you have been in our prayers. The task you have chosen will sometimes seem endless, sometimes thankless, but it is neither, I promise. I hope K9 Logan is at least giving you snuggles and chuckles now and then to distract you!

Consider yourself hugged across the miles, and know that we are here for you, if ever you need to vent. And I know far more about nursing homes and care-givers, etc. than most people my age, (elderly relatives, friends and my mom'd illness) so if there's anything I could do to help, do let me know!
