I am the oldest of two daughters...
Unfortunately, I am now the only daughter since my sister Carin passed away in August of 2000. In that instant, at 36, I became the only daughter of my wonderful, if not, mildly overprotective parents. Talk about a wild twist of fate....I went from having a sister to help with the trials and tribulations in the care and management of Mom and Dad, to having only myself to navigate that slippery slope. All seemed to be falling into place...until that day in 2007 when my father passed away rather suddenly...and I found myself alone with my mother. Don't get me wrong..I love my mom. She is a bundle of energy..at 70 years of age, she runs circles around most of the people my age. We get along great....we love to spend time together and we have had some fun travels...it is just that my parents were married for 45 years and Dad was always her pal. I can appreciate that things change and in most cases I welcome it. However, I was not at all prepared for what happened next....
What do you do when your 70 year old mother......gets a BOYFRIEND???? I have no idea.....
