Rose - I can&#39;t tell you what a relief having Mom in care is - I go visit her now and watch her for a bit before she sees me -  she&#39;s happy, smiling, wandering around chatting with everyone.  <br /><br />In her apartment she was alone most of the time and it never dawned on me that she could be lonely surrounded my the same neighbours for 21 years.  And she eats eveything that&#39;s put in front of her&#33; :o)
