I hope it works out that you get to go to that hotel with Dirk Nikko, you need a nice night like that. I am glad you get to go to the pool like that on the afternoons, it helps me to get outside and into the sun for awhile to feel better. It's got to be really hard taking care of your mother like you have been, I can't imagine how difficult it must be. But you do it out of love and that makes you a wonderful loving person, and you should never take abuse from her be it verbal or otherwise. I am glad she's not been able to drink and all, how is her mental state these days?

I hope she's getting along better, I also hope that she can understand she can't go out in that kind of heat and be all right, it's too hot for her to be outside at the pool. But it's good for you that you can get to go and get away from it for awhile. It's hard for me to live in the moment, but thanks to you I am starting to get better at it, seeing your posts has been a lot of motivation for me and I just want to thank you for being such a great lady and for sharing yourself with us here. You're something else Nikko, and I appreciate being here with you.
