“My mother has alzheimers. We have to have someone with her pretty much at all times. I have five brothers and sisters and three nieces that help out a lot, but there are periods of times when they don’t show up. There’s a couple that lives across the little driveway from us: Gus and Sheila, and they are always on call. Sheila’s just turned 101 and Gus is 97. I live in a little cul de sac; there’s five people who live there apart from my mother, and four of the five of them are 95 or above. It works out well because neither one of them drives so I do all their driving for them. They are fun to talk to. They grew up in a different era, during the depression. It was a different life back then.”
