Mamieswamie,
As a "child" of an aging parent who still lives independently (in NJ and So Fla) and who has long term care Insurance (she never wanted to be a burden to her 3 daughters), I know that when she has been hospitalized for whatever reason I feel so much better when I am able to see her and visit her and give her a hug and tell her I love her. My sisters who live in Colorado feel the same as I do, but it is not as easy for them due to the distance. Pure and simple, it's LOVE that makes us do what we feel is best for all concerned - our spouses, our parents, our children, our family.
I wish you an easy journey and transition as you enter this next phase. You will be surrounded by the love and support of our family which is the best medicine for you, your husband and your precious family! God bless!

Rona
