My son probably was motivated, at least in part, by care for me which is why I didn't respond to his comment other than on this blog. <br /><br />But I think the pain I felt was due as well to the fact that he and my other children are totally detached from C. It is what it is. And they are exemplary, compassionate people in every other sense.The Sound of the Silenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09669598042879486343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5505187301023634468.post-65436005623391704192015-06-17T05:56:11.192+01:002015-06-17T05:56:11.192+01:00I don't know.

The same can be said to those who caretake a Supreme Court judge when the wears of caring start truly affecting the caretaker adversely. Do take care of yourself.
