Pretty good..but my father was very strict..and my sister was the favourite child...but when it came to caring for my parents, I was there 24/7..not my sister...
I found it difficult when my mother told me she only had a few weeks left to live because she wouldn't discuss any of her funeral. I think she thought if she didn't discuss them, she wouldn't die. She was 57 at the time. For my father who later died at the age of 83, he had everything in place and I respected his wishes. My children will not discuss what will happen when my time is up..what I want is a simple direct cremation and they have been told. In fact it will be out of there hands when my time is up.
I cared for both of my parents because I wanted to. They looked after me until I left home and helped and supported me after that for a while . I fully understand there are situations where some are not able to care for their parents because of certain illnesses, that must be heartbreaking situation.
I don't watch a lot of TV..but when I do its for Game of Thrones.Peaky Blinders, just watching a series called Requiem..I also like some Discovery Channels and all programmes by David Attenborough..probably missed some others on my list...
Losing my son 4 years ago....no parent expects to outlive their child..it hurt like hell and still does...you have to live with it, it doesn't get easier with time..with time you learn to live with the hurt never goes away.
For me it would depend on the severity of the medical condition and what impact that would have to my own health and my relationship with them....I'm not looking to be anyone's carer.
I have never really gone deep in to politics..however the NHS is very precious, it caters and provides healthcare for the less well off.The doctors/nurses,in fact everyone that is involved in the NHS work extremely hard...and then along comes Jeremy Hunt..he is the root of all this evil..wanting to bring the NHS to its knees...even co-wrote the book on how to dismantle the NHS.
He should have been sacked when Theresa May took over as prime minister..but he wasn't!
The NHS is ours,not his to do what he want with it..parts have already been sold off out through the back door...our ancestors fought and worked hard for us to have the NHS...and why are the NHS staff being bought to book for striking, they are not on strike today, yet today every hospital is short staffed and in some wards are closed, putting patients at risk.
Jeremy Hunt either meets their needs or resigns...he is the root of this problem...not the doctors and nurses...
Charles is next in line to the throne, however I doubt he will take up that honour as many wouldn't want Camilla for a Queen. Could possibly be Andrew, but I very much doubt that, as for Edward,we hear very little about him...so for me I think it will be William.
The money spent could have been put to better use...it's disgraceful that there are so many cutbacks to essential services, yet Cameron pulled that money out from somewhere...and for what,he is running scared and trying to keep us where many of us don't want to be...
