Paul Pelosi in hit-and-run in Napa County wine country, car left with major damage, authorities say

[SWBTATTReg]

20. Wanted to elaborate more on this ... my brother was going to move into my Mom's house at the Lake of the Ozarks after

months and months of discussions, and he was going to, but then my Mom had a stroke or something similar (we really don't know what), and she passed away. Of course it devastated us, but in a way, her living out there 22 miles from the nearest town (Lebanon MO) w/ no one else there made it rather difficult to handle things, get meds delivered, etc. One thing that I wanted to clarify more on, is that they wanted to live in where they lived for quite a few years, in the Country, no really close neighbors, doctor's appts etc. all umpteen miles away. I took my Dad for some of his dental work, at the Lake of the Ozarks, and while it was nice, can you imagine doing this for everything? It's hard. And my Mom didn't want to move either. So you're in a rock and hard spot.

We did manage to hire someone to do cleaning around the house, do some errands around the house too, but when you have a rather large place, w/ 18 acres, it becomes a handful.

Well, anyways, my Mom and Dad are both gone, and the only one left of us four siblings, is me and my sister. Her family has (two sons) has stepped in and bought Mom and Dad's place (makes sense, it's like having Grandma and Grandpa's place). We seem to be managing, (or they are), and I'm glad that the kids have the place. I'm glad that I don't have it, since when I fully moved back to STLMO, I left my small ranch, 2 plots of land, four mobile homes, which I'm happy to not have to mess with.

Good luck to all of you in dealing w/ your elderly loved ones. We do love them dearly and want the best in the world for them. It's just figuring out 'what is the best thing'?
