Talkin' 'bout my generation

I would agree with you – I’m sure it is especially hard trying to keep things under control from 1000 miles away – I was right here and I found a few distraught moments trying to stay calm with my mother. I reorganized my pantry last night between 9 and 10 p.m., so I’m sure that is a control issue as well! Geez, if you don’t laugh you’d end up drowning in tears from the frustration of it all! ... Tomorrow I am moving my mother to a 1 BR apartment... I know what you mean about halos! There are some dear people that keep me going when I can’t seem to anymore. H.

Nearly everyone I know is coping with aging parents, and with children leaving the nest. Sitting down to lunch together involves nearly as many discussions of digestive issues and diapers as when our children were babies. Our parents seem more fragile than our children now, and maybe more controllable! Somedays I want to smash my guitar or set it on fire.
