Sending some support your way, whatever you need my friend!
I understand the live to work work to live statement, my doctors at work, they live to work, all consuming, all the time, and a lot of them expect us nurses to live by the same mantra. Me, I work to live! They make so much money, more money in a month than I make in a year….but…. I would not, for one second, want it if it meant I had to work like they do. Life is for living, work just makes us able to pay the bills and live the life we choose, whatever that is.
I’m sorry about your parents, it’s just bloody awful isn’t it. My mum, her mind is just about gone, her body is holding up pretty well but what good is an empty shell? What quality of life? It’s cruel, getting old. In saying that, I am grateful to have my old, beautiful mother to talk to, to touch, to cuddle. She doesn’t know me, but I know her and that’s what matters. Anyway, what started as me sending you a bit of love turned into a bit of a messy post!
So I’ll finish with…..my friend, this too shall pass.
Love K xxx
