Maybe we can round up some of the old crew for dinner and drinks sometime in May or June.<br /><br />Campbell, although I have considered that option, I know my mom doesn't want to leave where she is and I don't blame her. She has a lot of supports in place, a life already well established here. I agree--being 'the one' is no easy role to be in. I appreciate your comment and knowing that someone else is in the same position. Those of us who assume these responsibilities I think often put more pressure on ourselves than anyone else.Soohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07424964631493987311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1686577761647636863.post-18728192128916848322011-03-11T07:28:48.469-05:002011-03-11T07:28:48.469-05:00Could your mom come be where ever it is you want t...Could your mom come be where ever it is you want to be so that you can still be there for her but yet live somewhere that feels more fulfilling? It's not easy being "the one" no matter how much you love a parent. I'm "the one" too. I don't HAVE to be, but yet I do.Campbellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13600505149020853906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1686577761647636863.post-45669493796920945172011-03-10T20:49:12.258-05:002011-03-10T20:49:12.258-05:00*hugs* I'm sorry you're having to deal wi...*hugs* I'm sorry you're having to deal with this. A bit of a different situation, but I sometimes resent living in a small town... but that's where I got a job and that's what's going on in my life right now. Le sigh. Send all my best to your mum. Are you going to be back home around Easter? I'm visiting my family then and intend to go to the roller derby match. Maybe we could see each other there? I'm going to know a girl from each team which is kind of cool/convenient!Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02645256426601898566noreply@blogger.com
