I love that, and the way she's looking at Emma, who was so, so cute! It sounds like this has been a really tough time for you and your mom and family; I'm glad you have a brother/caretaker you trust, but still- so sorry about it all. And poor Emma, that is tough. Thank goodness she has such a solid family to fall back on and into in times of emotional upheaval.The Crislershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10716006297375813032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-87215926683035778.post-30545896726861803722016-02-29T07:04:35.558-06:002016-02-29T07:04:35.558-06:00I'm so sorry to hear this about your mother, C...I'm so sorry to hear this about your mother, Cassi. I know how difficult this must be for you; you are very fortunate to have your brother there to be a caretaker, however. Still, I know you must worry. Sorry, too, to hear about Emma's break-up. I remember sharing those emotional days with my daughters when they were teenagers. You know this will pass, but still your heart aches for them at the time. Take care.Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01384059342847120951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-87215926683035778.post-16398808441860008672016-02-28T20:36:15.012-06:002016-02-28T20:36:15.012-06:00I'm sorry you are dealing with all this.

It's hard enough to have our parents in failing health, but to have your daughter in emotional pain at the same time must be excruciating. (A year and a half is a long time at any age!) Being the filling in the sandwich means you are being pressed in from both sides. Don't forget to take a little time for you, so you can be strong for others.

It's difficult sometimes to be sandwiched between challenging generational situations. It sounds like your brother is a great trooper.
