getting old does suck but I always say it beats the alternative. It’s great you got to spend time with your sister!

My mom has dementia and does not even remember what I told her two minutes ago. I’m sorry about your car and hope your dog is okay. It has been hard for all of us to not be depressed since the last election. We just have to make sure we vote and get every democrat we know out to vote this time as well. I’ve seen several people offering free rides to the polls on Election Day. I would love to do that if I was off that day.

I’m fairly new here but because you’ve been here since 2008, you know how nice and caring everyone is. It’s hard to give up driving but one of those things most of us will have to do if we are lucky enough to be around that long. I’m thankful you have your daughter and that she’s able to take you to your appointments. Just know that she wants to do that. I take off to take my mom to hers as well when I know I could ask friends or relatives who would be happy to take her. I like hearing first hand how she’s doing. Your daughter is no doubt the same.
