Thanks poindexter... and re her taking care of her sister-in-laws finances, yeah yipes! The good thing is you're nearby and that will make a world of difference. I'm heading North in just over a week to have 4 days with my Dad and to visit Mum. I'm looking forward to it, I know he is too :) The bummer is leaving again, but that's the life we have made/charted for ourselves where I live and everyone's mindful of that too.

There's no real 'easy' path in any of this but it's comforting to know everyone does their best for each other regardless of circumstances.
