Interesting Lynn--I don't think you're much older than I, but my mom is only
69.  My grandmother isn't quite as old as your mom.

My mom was diagnosed with an auto-immune disease when she was in her late
twenties.  I spent a lot of years cooking, cleaning, taking care of things
for her.  (My father died young.)  Now that I'm pretty much free, my mom
would be happy to have me back to take care of her again.

I'm not inclined to revisit that arrangement, but the pressure is on.

my divorce. She moved near me after my father died; now she's 92 and depends
on me to shop for her, drive her everywhere, etc. It works best if we each
keep our own homes as long as possible
