You are a good person, I know full well what it takes to care for an aging parent. In some ways we sacrificed 7 yrs of our lives to stay with her. My Mom wanted to die in her home and she did. I would do it all over again for just one more day. She was an amazing woman but I guess at 91 she had a good run.
