Major Life Changes No One Asked For
Three and a half years ago we moved to the Cleveland area to provide care for Tony's elderly mom. In our endeavor to provide the best care for her health and well being we learned the system in the county she lived in woefully and legitimately terrible. One Thanksgiving we packed her off to Tony's sister's place in Florida for the holiday season, and she stayed. This has proven to be a boon for their mother, for she's getting the best healthcare she's ever had access to in her life. Tony and I have had a couple of years to ourselves, enjoying our time together as much as possible, pandemic aside. We live in a house we mostly like, in a city we mostly like, and were making plans to move closer to friends in Pittsburgh. And then... my stepdad had a massive stroke and I was called to action, I was with my mom by his side in Phoenix AZ a mere 12 hours later. It was there that I leaned my mother is living with an advanced illness and is not capable of making big decision
