		<description>Cindy, I will say an extra prayer for you as you increase the caregiving for your mother.  I went through years of caregiving for my elderly widowed mother, and know that the role reversal can be physically and emotionally draining.  I know you can handle it, but please remember, as your mother&#039;s needs increase, that you need to take good care of yourself, too.</description>

		<description>Oh , Cindy. 
If other&#039;s were disappointed it was only because you must bring so much to their lives.
This tugs at a heart. My girlfriend and I were just discussing this yesterday. How we assumed the windows of free and easy would be large and long, but then life happens. 
I am thinking of you, and hoping good things come with the new meds.
It was good to hear you enjoyed time with your son. I&#039;ve enjoyed my son this holiday as well. Who knew? :) Some of the girl drama... not so much.</description>

		<description>I think bittersweet is a good word for the holidays as life changes with our grown children and our aging parents.  I have heard good things about the newer medications for dementia.  I am keeping a good thought for your mother and wishing for you renewed energy. Happy New Year, Cindy.</description>

		<description>Oh Cindy,  What a bittersweet holiday.  I&#039;m sorry your mother&#039;s health is declining but I salute you for staying by her side and helping through this difficult time.  I know the road well so know that I&#039;m cheering you on from Los Angeles and hoping for the best.

Happy New Year.
