Hi! I can relate to the feeling of lost independence as I had to watch my 75 year old dad once again mow my yard while I sat inside being useless. He has told me several times that he likes to be able to help me out, so I guess that he thinks that it is okay to do. I wonder if we ever get use to having to ask for assistance? I used to be such an independent person and was always helping everyone else out, and i really miss that along with so many other things. I just hope that the people that help me get the good feeling that I got when I was the helper. Hope your night is good. Lisa
