Ok. This is the deal. I am working on a project for Mom, (she's also working on it) but I'm attempting to recruit the help of the nurses (besides us) and intelligent thinkers in this family. Mind you, the subject of this matter may come as a suprise to you, being that we have been so successful thus far in accomplishing great things where this is concerned in our family. But it is a subject that we may be able to seriously get something accomplished if we put our heads together on the matter.
This is the situation....In October, ours truly, Rosie, aka, Barb, will be the guest speaker at a ladies' conference in Indiana. She is responsible for a workshop as well as another forum. The workshop she will be doing is on a topic of her choice. She has come to a decision on the topic and we are currently in the "gathering information" stage. I am asking that you offer as much information as you can possibly offer. Whether it be websites, pages of books, stories.....etc...... Then at the end of this stage, we will filter through it and combine the pieces of information into a presentation format. I will even post the final outline for the speech.
Ready for the topic??? It's......"Adult Children Caring for Elderly Parents." I'm also interested in outline points...like points that begin with the same letters, outline questions....in similar fashion to any lecture you might be having to listen to.
We have approximately 1 1/2 weeks to gather info so that Mom can begin putting the speech together, then begin the polishing. I'm extremely anxious to see the finished product. It will include handouts, also.
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I'm here to tell you, it's not going to be long before we are going to have to take some of these steps to help the situation in our own family. Maybe this will help the development of different ideas of what steps might need to be taken.

I'm on it, tho she may tell you that when she asked for speaking ideas about standing strong in our changing world, I said, "sing ALL the verses to 'Hold to God's Unchanging Hand'!" She cracked up, go figure.
Yes, is she just said all the words to that, she'd have a whole speech, right. That's hilarious.
