People don't get it

I've known him for years, but bottom line seems to be about business, about a lot of things, but being supportive. I don't understand people, and their reluctance to be supportive. Maybe I expect too much, or maybe I really am out of sync with the world. To me, looking after Mom is a full time job, but one out of love.

I suppose I could just dump her in a home, and walk away, but it would tear me up more than worrying about how to help her, is doing. I doubt I'd sleep a few minutes more than I do now, because that is how she raised me, with real values and not just words.

I listen to the bullshit from people like Harper, or the religious right, or even the Pope, and it turns my gut, because they speak the words, but won't put their own lives on the line, when it counts. Nothing but friggin words, no substance, no balls.

It damn well sucks, dealing with a person who is old, who is dying. No matter how you slice it, that is what is happening, and no, I don't like it, I hate it, but I have to accept it, but I'll be damned if I do it quietly, or without one friggin fight.

So if people don't want to be supportive, well, screw them.

Doing what is right is not easy, nor is it filled with rewards either, but you know, it does let me get those few minutes of sleep, so I can keep going.
