I feel the same way about my MIL. Even though she is now 85 and forgets a lot of things, I still feel a hell of a lot safer with her than I do with my own mother, for a lot of good reasons.
This thing we are all dealing with seems to me to be so often two steps forward and one step back. So please don't beat yourself up on that account.
And, yeah, then there are always these nasty storms and nightmares and such we have to deal with. We live in the Plains, which I've read is the most tornado-prone place on earth. So, there we go. I pray you find your nerve and I find mine. And I know what you mean about feeling like you're starting all over again. I get that feeling more than I'd wish. It really sucks. Just try to hang in there, be prepared when the shit hits the fan, and get you and yours out across the street when you have to. Sigh... I'll be so glad when tornado season is over. Let us know how you're doing, okay? |
