Yes PQV- you are so right, it really takes a toll. Very few people can really understand as it is sometimes not something you can put into words.
I went through similar things as a child with my family too. Grew up in hospitals with a 10 year younger sister, helped with all her medical care. Then as an adult went through alot with one of my daughters. Years of her medical issues and 24hr care by me...she was sent home to die. She is alive and truly a blessing. I didn't really grieve til she was 11-12 years old. I never had the time. There is a grieving period, and I am so glad you are aware of where you are. You stepped up and loved your family and sacrificed a great deal, probably in more ways that anyone would ever understand. Blessings to you and your family. I hope health is being restored as well as the relational and emotional difficulties. I believe those are the hardest to overcome.

Thank you! I am so glad your daughter is doing well! Such a blessing when the doctors are wrong like that sometimes. We are making some progress with healing, but I suspect that we all have a long way to go.Southern by choice said:Yes PQV- you are so right, it really takes a toll.

I'm feeling a little guilty....I got some fabric to make a present for my oldest sister's birthday back in March and I just finished making it yesterday. She has been on home hemodialysis since right after she got married a year ago in September and she gets very cold during her treatments. I got the softest, fluffiest fleece I could find to make her a giant snuggie.
It's finally done and it turned out pretty well considering I only had her old snuggie has a guide and I haven't still haven't found most of my sewing stuff since the move.
Not a great picture, but it shows the fabric pattern at least. I made the blanket part wider and longer than a normal snuggie.
Years ago, all of us kids painted clothes pins with a design and our names on them. We use them on our napkins so that we can reuse the napkins. Anyway, my brother-in-law has been asking for a clip of his own and he seems to think that it is an important part of being part of the family. So I made him one today.
It has been SO COLD the past 3 days! And of course that means the hoses aren't working properly and the tanks are all frozen solid. I think it is supposed to warm back up by the end of the week.

I love the Snuggie. Looks great. Why feel guilty. If the project got done, that is what counts. Also, I love that you made a clothes pin. It is very cool. It's the little things that make someone feel part of the family. You are a peach.

I only feel guilty because it was supposed to be finished in March....in time for her birthday. But I suppose I don't need to feel guilty at all seeing as this is the same sister who bought me a key chain (I like to collect them) for my birthday a few years ago, put it in a "safe" place, and could never find it again.Queen Mum said:

Meg is my little Bed Bug.
Her whole life she has fought me on sleeping on the bed. She would sleep on my little sister's bed, get on in the middle of the night when I was asleep, but leave if I accidentally touched her, etc...but since I got a bigger bed (twin to a queen) she has decided she likes being comfortable (maybe it's just her old age?) and she actually cuddles. I'm loving it! There is something very comforting about a warm body curled up at your feet or against your back.
She doesn't look comfortable at all, does she?

Millie would like everyone to know that she is feeling much better. Her belly is all healed up and she is allowed to run around outside again!
