If you don't do it, you'll never know what would have happened if you had done it.

Wow!

 I am overwhelmed with the beautiful responses I've had to my first journal entry - thank you all for your wonderful comments and helpful input. And happy July 4 to you and yours.  I have found one carrier (Zoom) that has a non-stop flight from San Diego to England - which is key.  My mom cannot communicate any of her needs or concerns and has very limited mobility now, so it is imperitive that I can transport as straightforwardly as possible.  Leaving from our airport will be wonderful as it is only a 12 mile car ride!  I do talk to my mom as if she understands - I know somewhere in there she 'gets' it, if only intuitively.

The promise of a comfortable bed, in a warm and comfortable home with loving people around her is as appealing to me as much as it will to her

I WISH YOUR FAMILY THE VERY BEST FOR THE CARE OF YOUR MOTHER. THIS IS A TEDIOUS AND STRESSFUL TASK BUT I FIRMLY BELEIVE WE OWE IT TO OUR PARENTS TO TAKE CARE OF THEIR NEEDS WHEN THEY CANNOT DO IT ALONE. THIS IS A DREADFUL DISEASE AND I HAVE TAKEN CARE OF MY MOTHER IN LAW WHEN SHE ALSO SUFFERED FROM IT. BUT A LOVING AND COMPASSIONATE FAMILY MAKES A LOT OF DIFFERENCE TO THEM,GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR BROTHER!
