After skimming the post I thought, no way...most of us would be overwhelmed to bring an aging family member into our homes, let alone sharing our lives with a casual acquaintance. I was a foster mom, many years ago, but that seems small potatoes compared with caring for a senior citizen. It is rare to stumble upon heartwarming stories of modern day good samaritans, but the McGettigans seem to fit in that category as they have lived out the Golden Rule. I am anxious to read all the details!Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04495841077527091378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8917006732840712469.post-186716276590253382016-01-28T15:56:56.129-06:002016-01-28T15:56:56.129-06:00The book just came out on Tuesday and your library...The book just came out on Tuesday and your library should have no trouble ordering it.Doreen McGettiganhttp://www.doreenmcgettigan.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8917006732840712469.post-59705107144326632182016-01-28T13:39:32.427-06:002016-01-28T13:39:32.427-06:00Karen, I am going to see if this one might be in o...Karen, I am going to see if this one might be in our local library. I often wonder about people standing at the intersections of freeways begging. It seems that the social services are failing them and their families...or could it be they are building hurdles to keep some out?<br /><br />Aging women without any means because of choices they made earlier in life are around me in this RV resort. For us it is a very affordable second home...it is for them all they have. It is very sad.<br /><br />b+b+ (Retire In Style Blog)https://www.blogger.com/profile/05114209481329773753noreply@blogger.com
