 Changing Places
 Margaret Croney, MSW
 
 They are going about their lives my parents. They are old; my 
 mother is frail and my father protective of her. They live in 
 their big house in the woods by a lake in the country, far from 
 the local hospital and doctors. 
 
 They make me proud, they make me scared, they make me 
 afraid and they make me sad. Life is running swiftly by 
 and each time I see them they are a little older, a little 
 less determined and a little more dependent. We are 
 changing places. They used to keep me safe from harm, 
 watch me grow, and care for me. Now I try to keep 
 them safe harm, watch them grow older and care for them. 
 
 My parents are independent, strong willed and private. They 
 do not want strangers in their home. They care for each other. 
 They live a day-to-day routine that changes as the seasons do. 
 They blossom in the spring and summer, they settle down in the 
 fall to wait the winter. 
 
 The winter is hard on them. They become isolated in the house 
 in the county, the storms of snow too much to cope with; driving 
 too difficult and stressful. Ice is to be feared. 
 
 A fall, a broken bone can change the way they live. They wait 
 and watch the roads, looking for the snowplow so they can go 
 out. They go out to the doctors, out to the bakery, just out to 
 have a coffee at the local donut shop. 
 
 They depend on each other and on me, just as I once depended 
 on them. We do not talk about this change in dependency. It is 
 not acknowledged it is just there. The end is getting near. A 
 few years, a few months, the autumn of their lives is past, they 
 are in the winter. My mother questions me about my older clients. 
 I understand the questions, she is checking, measuring and 
 comparing. She offers comments but never reveals her thoughts. 
 She wonders and questions if my clients have this symptom or 
 that problem.
 
 They are amazing, and unique. They are my parents. I got them 
 at birth and they are my link to my past. They are the only people 
 that have known me throughout my life, from the time my mother 
 was aware of her pregnancy until this moment, they have been 
 there. They loved me, cared for me, watched out for me and kept 
 harm from me. They struggled and strove after the war to raise 
 their family. They taught values and planted the views and 
 traits that have helped me through life. They taught me to care, 
 to love, to watch, now I want to keep harm from them.
 
 Our parents have been there for us, with us, they are in our minds, 
 in our lives, sometimes in our way. They have influenced us, they 
 have made us who we are, and what we are,. More importantly 
 we do not know the impact they have had on our lives and we 
 will not know until they are gone.
 
 Slowly we are changing places. I watch, I worry, I care. 
 I am quietly parenting.

 7. Jeepers Creepers! We Need Your Old Peepers! Join Sight Night 2002
 
 If you feel Halloween involves more "getting than giving" why not 
 involve your little ghouls and goblins in a trick-or-treat project 
 that howls with the spirit of generosity? 
 
 Trick-or-treat night is fourth annual Sight Night for thousands of 
 scout troops, community organizations and neighborhood kids 
 across America. You can join this frightfully fun volunteer program 
 that invites kids of all ages to collect used glasses for the needy
 in developing countries. 
 
 The used glasses collected on Sight Night will be repaired, classified 
 by prescription and hand-delivered by LensCrafters and Lions 
 Club volunteers to people in places like Bolivia, Laos, Tunisia 
 and Mexico. In some developing countries, a new pair of glasses 
 may cost up to an entire month's wages, and millions in the world 
 cannot afford see clearly. That's why it's important to collect as 
 many glasses as possible on Sight Night!
 
 Get Involved - It's So Easy, It's Scary!
 Encourage your neighbors and friends to clear out those cobwebs 
 and dig up used glasses! All shapes and sizes of eyeglasses and 
 sunglasses are welcome for children and adults, both prescription 
 and non-prescription. 
 
 For a fun collection kit, visit www.sightnight.org, or call toll free 
 877-605-4242. Quantities are limited. One kit per group, please.
 
 After Sight Night, just drop off your used glasses at LensCrafters or 
 a Lions club. How frightfully simple! 
 
 Sight Night is part of Give the Gift of Sight, a family of charitable 
 program that provides free eye care to people in communities across 
 the US, Canada and developing countries. Since 1988, LensCrafters and 
 Lions club volunteers have provided eye care to more than 2 million 
 people in need around the world.
