A warning to my friends..

I have said this time and time again… and i will continue to say it cuz what we have gone thru with my MIL. You need to make sure that when your parents that are getting older, have all the proper paper work in line and up to date. Everything needs to be in order in case something like dementia. Its a nasty disease and its not fun to watch it take the one that you love from you, slowly. It is hard to watch or even talk to my MIL now, she just sits and mumbles or has conversations with herself. There was a day that we were showing her pics of the boys and she like started crying cuz she couldnt remember the boys. She didnt remember seeing them in the NICU shortly after they were born. It was the longest 10 min there was cause every 3 minutes she would ask use the same question over and over. I know in time we are going to have to do funeral planning, and that is going to be the hardest thing we have to do and it will not be pleasant. It will be hard for my husband cuz she is all he has left besides me and the boys.

Please get all papers together even for yourself to make things easier in the future.
