<p>[QUOTE="Bev aka thelmasstuff, post: 1574736, member: 23"]She was eight years older and took care of me a lot. My mother couldn't always care for me so I spent a lot of time in other homes until I was 12. My mother didn't want me home alone in the summer so Sylvia would pick me up on Sunday night and return me on the following Friday so I'd have some time at home. My mother and stepfather spent a lot of time in the tavern so I was still alone a lot. We would drive up to Montreal or Quebec, the White Mountains, Portsmouth. She was always a little 'different'. No ties. In a way, I was her slave. Did laundry, ironed, washed dishes, but it was a whirlwind of adventure. We went to the 1964-65 World's Fair in New York both summers. I'd like to keep them, but I'm in the process of decluttering and downsizing because we will inevitably need to move to a smaller place in the not too distant future. My kids don't want most of my own stuff, much less an older cousin they didn't really know. I was her guardian after she was diagnosed. She lived for ten years. The nursing home was a really good one and she was well cared for.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
