I watched Chicago Fire with my parents last night and caught up on how they have been doing since my mom broke her hip and my dad started radiation. They both looked very tired and their situation seemed overwhelming, especially since none of us were close by to help. I didn't sleep very well thinking about them last night as I wasn't sure where they could get consistent daily help or even if they would except it. I was afraid that my dad would wear out driving to and from Warsaw every day for treatment along with taking care of my mom. I also wasn't sure how long it would take for her to recover.
Getting out of the house today for a haircut at Amanda's and visiting with Harlan when he stopped by to check in on my parents helped me feel a little better. I knew that they were two people that we could count on to lend a hand or look for help if my parents needed it. I also realized that there were others as well. No one could be there constantly but maybe could help until my parents decided what they wanted to do long-term. I know that they really like living in their home, but I am not sure that will always be possible. I guess time will tell and for now all I can do is pray for them and trust in God's plan.
