If you ever see that in the paper or something, you'll know it came from me and I totally stole your line.

Who knows?<BR/><BR/>If the church is true, if we believe in repentance, in the Savior and what He did, we all have a chance.<BR/><BR/>Also, Patrick, my mother is 75 now, it's only been the last few years that I could stand to be around her for any length of time (I'm talking hours). I think my mother earned my animosity, my resentment. That's between God and me. <BR/><BR/>Don't beat yourself up, it sounds like you're doing the best you can to be a good son. I think that's good enough.annegbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15037271914260019842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25138681.post-1147738227917963872006-05-15T17:10:00.000-07:002006-05-15T17:10:00.000-07:00Do you ever wonder if God, being as we are once, e...Do you ever wonder if God, being as we are once, ever blogged about how much His mortal parents screwed him up?White Man Retardedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01146513221370959529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25138681.post-1147738180915796102006-05-15T17:09:00.000-07:002006-05-15T17:09:00.000-07:00No kidding.

It's like I revert whenever I'm in my as-of-lately-frequenent freak outs. Normally, I can see the good, and also being a parent has helped me see both sides, but man, backsliding...I realize I do love my parents but it's still hard sometimes...White Man Retardedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01146513221370959529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25138681.post-1147726018279985622006-05-15T13:46:00.000-07:002006-05-15T13:46:00.000-07:00"But she's all I have to work with", is poignant. ..."But she's all I have to work with", is poignant. To get to that point in life, to see our parents as they are, rather than what they could, or should have, been is very powerful.

He has Alzheimers and can no longer remember how to walk on a consistent basis, and at 80, she can't lift him anymore. She is devastated. He can't remember who she is.<BR/><BR/>It all seems very tragic to me at the other end of marriage (they've been married for nearly sixty years; I've been married for almost three).
