I go through the same thing with my father, who's hard of hearing and has some memory issues. It's a frustrating thing not to be able to have a "regular" conversation and talk things out. Keep looking up -- and congratulations on your new granddaughter!Judy C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16572324655742880285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21109207.post-4805548122038270022011-07-07T22:26:47.877-04:002011-07-07T22:26:47.877-04:00Judy, she is here most every evening.

Mom is hard of hearing and on top of that often forgets what she does hear or appears as though she may not be processing it at all. Keeping my tone and volume sounding and feeling respectful is a challenge I'm not sure how to overcome. I am gaining a new understanding of people who were past caretakers who I thought were gruff with their family members. Lord, help me. I've got that FAIL stamp across my forehead again. :(Marthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15293816902877287168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21109207.post-2462154579955002052011-07-07T22:06:14.959-04:002011-07-07T22:06:14.959-04:00Martha,

I'd like to stop by, maybe some evening during the next week or so to visit with your mom, whenever is best for everyone. Then maybe you could have some free time to do what you want to do, to have some time for yourself. My sister, Kim, likes to say "J-O-Y" stands for Jesus first, others second and yourself third -- but I've reminded her that it is JOY and not just JO!Judy C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16572324655742880285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21109207.post-56016984178585404072011-07-07T21:06:07.708-04:002011-07-07T21:06:07.708-04:00Matthew 11:30
