War of attrition
Losses: father-in-law (2001) Dad(2014) mother-in-law (January 27) Who's working with me? Half-jokingly I told my sister-in-law, my mom needed a roommate. There was a queen-sized mattress to share. She did not think this was funny.
She has not seen the loneliness my mother has seen. I wish this on no one. Mom found out the hard way Thanksgiving 2014. She was recovering from knee replacement surgery in a rehab next to a cemetery. By February 2015 she moved in with me. She's the only one alive.
I asked my dad back in 1998 "Hey dad, come check out Georgia?" No dice. I'm sure he made no plans to make Florida his final resting place. It's 2017. Who's working with me?
