Wow, this brings up memories. I'm dreading my mother's decline into old age, because I'm the only person around who will feel any duty at all to be there. And I vividly remember my grandmother's last years, which were distressing to me because she was lonely and depressed but also partly senile, so even when she did have visitors, she forgot about them within a few hours, and just felt more lonely. And she would call, and call, and practically beg me to visit her
I kept trying to tell myself that I couldn't possibly be responsible for her wellbeing, but it is hard.
Winter riding is much less about badassery and much more about bundle-uppery. - malkin
