As I read about the experience of other Dear Readers, I know that I am facing some decisions involving my parents. My father will be 89 in March and my mother just turned 83.
I hate to think about what will happen when one or the other goes....not that it is any more imminent than it was this time last year.
I know that I will be inclined to sell the house....but after being here almost 50 years, it is not something I look forward to. It would take a lot of work, and certainly it isn't the type of house anyone is in the market for. I don't want to be a landlord and deal with those problems either.
So we shall see.
