It can be a challenging time when roles change and the children begin to need to care for the parents. I can tell you are a good son and will find the way to help. When my mother needed help, my siblings and I found the book "Another Country" by Mary Pipher to be helpful. Maybe this would be helpful to you too. I'll miss your posts and look forward to your return.<br />Best regards,<br />RuthAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5948862230201694042.post-82884862144116911722011-11-13T08:25:52.110-05:002011-11-13T08:25:52.110-05:00Artie, I am so sorry to hear about your Mother and...Artie, I am so sorry to hear about your Mother and Stepfather.

It's hard to know what to say with a post like this, and I didn't want to write it. It's difficult for me to even put into words what I'm going to be experiencing these next few months. However, I didn't want to leave you in the lurch without atleast a partial explination for my absence, and the absence of my original design work. <br /><br />You're all so very thoughtful, generous, and kind to have genuine courtesy to leave me notes during this time - and I hope you'll continue to come by and drop comments on these filler posts that you find inspiring. <br /><br />I'll be checking back in randomly, and I know I'll be happy to see all of your faces when I return. <br /><br />All the best, <br />xo<br />Aniartisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08328154164462941199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5948862230201694042.post-79602411031210703002011-11-12T21:25:07.631-05:002011-11-12T21:25:07.631-05:00Many hundreds of thank yous to you Marilyn, I know...Many hundreds of thank yous to you Marilyn, I know your continued thoughts and prayers for them will be well recieved. <br />I'll be back soon! <br />xo,<br />Aniartisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08328154164462941199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5948862230201694042.post-45552725427373328922011-11-12T21:24:10.413-05:002011-11-12T21:24:10.413-05:00Couldn't agree more, Steve.
