helped ma and dad

I did my parents laundry.  I do it every week. I put their tree up an wreaths. Did ma's dishs.  Took out the garbage. Found alot of other Christmas  stuff too. I want them to be happy this Christmas.  My ma's diabetes has been kind of messed up. Her sugar goes low an she dosnt realize it till she takes her level. She was in the hospital this past week. I worry so much, that she could go in a coma. She sleeps a awful lot too. My dad needs alot of care. I dont know how much my mom can take care of dad when she can hardly take care of herself.  My dad needs his pain meds every 6 hours and with the j tubes in his stomach an bed sores, its so much work. My dad still talks about fixing things in the house! Me an my husband try, but we got to still take care of our family. The boys still need us. And I worry about us getting older now that we are in our fifties. My husbands work lost alot of our investments because of bankruptcy,  which was our retirement. I dont know what we are gonna do! I am looking at my parents and thinking , they saved so much, an are getting by, but I dont see how we are gonna do it at thier age when we get older. That part scares me. And I worry so much of my sons future. I hope I dont have to depend on my childern to do the things I do for my parents. I worry all the time about this kind of stuff.I pray alot and am thankful that we at least pay our bills and have food on the table an clean clothes and a nice house to live in. Yes, our house needs some work, but we always seem to just get by.  jesus an the angels must be looking out for us. Sometimes though, I wish I could have , like my hole in my kitchen fixed., a bedroom set thats not falling apart, a basement that didnt leak. My porch fixed, my bathrooms fixed... but I guess there are more important things, like paying my youngest sons tuition, all the cars, 6 of them running. And of coarse all my sons healthy. Thats the most
impotant, their health. Happiness  will come if you let it. Jesus thank you an keep blessing us with your graces.

Taking care of your parents is hard. Geo and I dont have any savings and we are both on disability. I tell him this is our retirement since we will have to work when we get old.
