Besides doing what I say Monday. I have spend the last 5 hours at the hosptial. My uncle that helped me with my dad fell and broke his right wrist and right hip. Now you know me I told them I would help anyway that I could. What a day. When will it end???

Just take a day at a time - otherwise it can seem over-whelming. I used to assure my very aged in-laws that it was pay-back time; they had poured in help and support all our married life and it was our way of saying thank-you! And the next generation grow up knowing that they may have the same opportunity to show practical support at some point in the future.. It IS worth it!

I know your uncle is so thankful for your help much like you were when he helped you.....God bless you for your caring heart.....things will get better in time.

Sometimes, it is easy to get overwhelmed with all the demands of life, but it is still a good life! We just have to focus on what is TRULY important, and prioritize to do what is needed at
the moment! It sounds like that is what you are doing! It may be tough to juggle so much at present, but in the end, you will be so glad you helped your uncle and aunt! If possible, try to get others to assist you. If you can't, just plan to put the unnecessary demands of your day on a back burner, do only the
essential ones. Family and loved ones are a priority and need your attention most. May the Lord bless you with a special strength to do all that is required.

You are doing the right thing. I am grateful that your uncle helped you when you needed it. I guess he was working to say thanks to you when he needed you.

Never give up !!!..hugs and a *

Dear DeVon,

You will do what you have to do. I know how you feel though, I did that for most of last year.

You sound like a very generous person who just can't say no. Don't worry it will get better. Maybe you just need to let people know that you are being stretched a bit too far, so they won't take too much advantage of you. Let them know how you feel.

Love and blessings Chris

I will have to let work go and take care of my uncle. He is the only one that would help me with my dad all those years!! I was REALLY hard to see him he looks SOOOO much like my dad. After I left I cried and cried!!!
