thanks for posting. I've been thinking so much about Vanessa and wondered how she's doing. I feel bad that losing her independence has made her feel so helpless, yet being independent I understand why she might feel that way. I'm sure her sadness is a depression of sorts and this is all a vicious circle for her.

I think one of the life lessons my mother-in-law taught me was to allow other people to help me. Even if we are normally capable of doing most anything, allowing people to help us is a gift -- to them. I really get that now, and hope Vanessa might be open to the suggestion. I know she has those new grandbabies in her life and although their parents might be busy right now, Vanessa was busy when she was raising them. I pray that Vanessa finds some peace and is back in the driver's seat soon, in more ways than one.

Thanks for thinking of her Sheila.
