Yes, your kids believed you and their father had money trees
with their names on them, Beth. I enjoyed your story for this
year. Through it all, you seemed to remain in control despite
everyone pulling at you. I know being a caregiver is mentally
challenging along with the time and energy spent. But you did
what was required and then some. Your Christmas sounded great
even with all the added expenses.
Thanks for sharing, Jan

Thank you Jan. I guess we all do what we feel we need to do and learn to cope with the inconvenience. Life was still good despite its many problems. I always appreciate your reviews.

Comment from barbara.wilkey
Kid do think their parents are made of money. I don't understand where they get that idea. Thank you for sharing these memoirs with us.
She said it wasn't her idea of fun, and she wasn't going. (You can omit the comma and the second 'she'.)
Right after Christmas was over, both you and Dad had a bad case of bronchitis. (You can omit 'was over' and go straight to the rest of the sentence.)
He prescribed something which helped, but Dad was convinced that he wouldn't be alive much longer. (omit 'that')

I think it's a great idea for your children a d grandchildren to see you as people through your conversation writes. I write to my husband, Tony each night and share my day with him. I'm sure, like me, your writes to Evan, is a double help for you too. Well done. Cheers

Thank you Valda, I'm glad to know others do that as well. I hope you're saving you notes to your husband for your children (if you have children) to read later. I appreciate the review. It does help me as well.

Comment from royowen
It's funny, one would think because your family are growing up, they'd be independent, but your jobs as parents weren't quite finished as yet, it's quite hard to climb out of financial holes. Well done Beth, blessings Roy
Typo : deceased wife'(s) family. 2; the actual(ly) killer...3: Connie called (in) upset...4: someone (wrecked: into their new car.

I have one daughter who I don't think will ever realize it is time for her to be independent. Thanks for helping with the spags.

Great piece. Keep it up!
