> Trying to guilt you kids is almost a requirement of aging.
I think I'm really going to try to remember this if I reach a venerable age, and make sure that my son is clear that I am my own responsibility and his responsibility is to his own kids. Maybe I'll write an essay to myself at seventy.
I know part of the problem is that the umbilical cord was cut so poorly and so late. (Ask my husband.) It's hard to know where one of us leaves off and the other begins. My brother has it worse than I do, though. I shouldn't complain. They open his mail!!
So you're going to be one of those elderly patients that nurses back away from, eh? I can see it now. :)
