I once drove a Mazda RX-7 sports-car, and at that time often gave rides to my grandmother. It was not so easy to enter and exit, but I think she liked the idea of riding in it just the same! I later had an Infiniti myself, which definitely was very comfortable and easier for my grandmother.<br />--Road to ParnassusParnassushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08958901307538141468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1974466215163623524.post-30947810153226913382013-01-04T12:20:50.564-05:002013-01-04T12:20:50.564-05:00Dearest Shane,

He has lived a nice long life! It is difficult to be separated from loved ones and when they are elderly and unable to travel, it makes it very hard on loved ones. My Dear Husband's family is 3000 miles away from us and we cannot see them as often as we like and only one uses the computer! His Dear Mother is 84 and unable to travel, so we have to do the visiting. We rely on phone calls and occasional letters with photos in between, but it is not the same. But what can you do? You keep them close in your hearts no matter how far the distance and hope they know how much you love and miss them. A big hug for you. xxKaren @ Beatrice Euphemiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08631972741518142563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1974466215163623524.post-13654895791113457482013-01-03T20:59:54.831-05:002013-01-03T20:59:54.831-05:00Dearest Miyako san,

If Mind, Body and Spirit are not in balance, health does deteriorate. Hope he will stay stable for a long time as it is so hard on you for having to watch him. Thanks for the well wishes and yes, my Dad is exceptionally well and so is my Mom, even with kidneys that function less than 10%. Every day we have them is a blessing from heaven.<br />Hugs to you, sweet Japanese friend,<br />MarietteMariette VandenMunckhof-Vedderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16877699174880945452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1974466215163623524.post-45451332154774085612013-01-03T20:54:13.144-05:002013-01-03T20:54:13.144-05:00Dearest Mariette,

I really am happy for you that they both doing fine, my friend♬♬♬ Yes, I remember he is the one who influenced you for gardening♡♡♡ Such sweet picture of him. I'm heading to see my father who is going to be 88 years old this 31st. I remember his grief when we lost my mother year 2,000. I constantly invited him to our house but it wasn't enough for him and slowly his mental and health condition got deteriorated. Happy for both of your parents and long healthy days☆☆☆<br />Love you always from Japan to my American friend, xoxo Miyako*<br />orchid0324https://www.blogger.com/profile/01230850040531307075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1974466215163623524.post-20490111459231772852013-01-03T20:16:47.622-05:002013-01-03T20:16:47.622-05:00Dearest Véronique,
