My Mum is 95, lives in her own home with only her much loved dog for company. She is legally blind and her legs aren't as reliable as they used to be. When I have talked to her about my worry she has made it quite clear that continuing to live independently is a risk she is prepared to take. Perhaps Aunty Glad is of a similar mind. Different countries but the same generation. Tough old buggers who want to go on their own terms and good luck to them.Hedahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00953091713220195010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-10562220159360794422016-06-09T09:04:39.701+00:002016-06-09T09:04:39.701+00:00My Mum in Law, Jessie was blind for the last three...My Mum in Law, Jessie was blind for the last three years of her life and she lived completely independently.

Auntie is still a beautiful woman and if the eyes as they say are the mirrors of the soul, hers is almost diaphanous. And the two little beauties are the perfect frame for a wonderful picture that I am sure they would treasured when they are older. Make sure all of them have a hard copy, things are so transient that is best to hold on to something with your hands, not in our computers. Good on you John, thank you.
