[quote=Anonymous]Me too, OP - my parents are early 70s and grandma is still alive, but they have taken a sharp downward turn in the last year. Mom has Parkinsons and my Dad has a leg issue. They've rapidly lost weight and muscle. It's hard. I just spent 2 weeks with them at Christmas and I felt it really helped our relationship and my view of them. When we're apart I don't see all the things they can still do, I only hear about / worry about the problems. When we're together, I see how they've aged but I also see them getting around ok, making jokes, washing dishes ... it helps. [/quote]
