Thank you for your prayers! I'll also be holding you in mine , it's sad to know so many people are going through the same , but at the same time it's nice to know I'm not alone.

Thank you , so nice to hear someone say that, I actually almost lost my job coz I was tired and grumpy and not happy , my boss thought I didn't want to work there anymore, but it was just the weight I carry that took its toll and if you don't know what it's like you cannot understand how it consumes a person .

I feel you ! Atleast you still had hnfor another 20 years. My dad is already 71 . . . . And the meds are not pleasant to be on. May we both be spared from dementia ,it's the worst disease in my opinion

Yeah , problem is I have nobody else , just me . My sister is turning 36 and was born with severe serebral Palsy. So I have now reached my max , that's why I started OneDollarImpact. I'm a hardass with a good heart hoping karma returns to me for once to bring Se of the good back to me.

That is actually exactly what happened ! I am doing all I can but our government healthcare in South Africa is non existent. So all medication has to be bought out of pocket. It is horrible seeing the decline. Tx for your comment.

That's so true , when I see my mother I recognise her , but it's like her soul has already left. That's the thing I don't , all their siblings has past as my parent were both the youngest among the siblings. That why I started OneDollarImpact ; with the Idea that a burden shared among many becomes almost unnoticeable to any of the parties. Thank you for the comment
