Greatings in Christ,

I usually don't write but I do enjoy the writings of others.  I really
need prayer though because of the situation of being my parents parent.
 It is an emotional roller coaster.  Plus there are many services
lately that I have to miss because I can't leave them alone and can not
afford to pay someone to stay with them.

My mom is doing a lot better but my dad isn't.  We have to make him get
out of bed and eat.  He gets angry when we try to give him a bath.  We
used to let him give himself one but he got where he would just sit in
the bathroom running water and never take the bath.  This is so unlike
my dad.  He used to always be a clean person.  It is like he doesn't
care but yet he insists that he did take a bath.  He is living in his
own world.  He spoke to people that we have not seen for years (or they
are dead) and he thinks he is working so hard during the day when in
fact he hasn't gotten out of bed.

I really don't like being the mean parent but I have to take care of
him and he says I am mean and torturing him when I make him get out of
bed.

Both of them use to be activily involved in church but due to health
reasons they had to stop. The last fews months my dad, who even with
his problems used to live to go to church, fights me when it comes time
to go to church.

Please pray for them (Mildred and RQ) and also for strength for me.  I
appreciate your time in prayer in this hectic crazy world we all live
in.

Blessings,
Bonita
