I talked with my dad this morning. He had spent the week dealing with the inevitable task of making final decisions for my grandmother who has been suffering from Alzheimer's for several years. She was taken to the hospital last week with an infection and the doctors told my father that in order to prolong her life she would need to have her legs amputated. After delibiration, my father chose to move her back to assisted living and give her all of the pain medication she requires rather than remove her legs. The doctors give her 2 weeks at this point.
I agree with my dad's decision and I admire his strength as an unmarried only child who is going this pretty much alone. He goes to visit her nearly every weekend even though she hasn't been able to recognize him in 5 years. She was an intelligent, articulate and confident woman all of my adolescent life and the toll that this disease has taken on her is absolutely horrific.

In my earlier post, failed to chose a charity for this year. After some deliberation, I decided to choose <a href="http://www.charitynavigator.org/index.cfm?bay=search.summary&orgid=5907">The V Foundation</a> since my son attends NC State where Jimmy Valvano coached until his untimely death. It is also a way to honor both my wonderful mother-in-law and grandmother, that each succumbed to cancer in recent years.
Taking inspiration from Ben Grimm's generous offer earlier in this thread, I promise to double my donation should the charity I receive be rated at 4 stars by the charity navigator site.

Thanks.
We make accomodations -- you do what you have to do, like everyone. Some of the substitutions that we've found (e.g., brown rice pasta) work out allright, while others (e.g., gluten-free bread) just stink no matter what or how.
For the rest of you, imagine that you were allergic to sandwiches, pizza and beer. There you go.

My wife is allergic to wheat. I feel your pain. We've found that larger sumermarkets are starting to carry larger gluten-free sections, and one of the local colleges even hosted a gluten-free fair with all kinds of vendors. But it's tough. You don't realize how many things have wheat until you can't have it.

Dear Mr. DC,
Thank you so much for your contribution of $20.00 to Susan G. Komen for the Cure. Your support is hard at work bringing us closer to our goal of saving lives and ending breast cancer forever by empowering people, ensuring quality care for all and energizing science to find the cures.
Your support has helped us establish the global breast cancer movement and build a grassroots network of breast cancer survivors and activists fighting to save lives, empower people, ensure quality care for all and energize science to find the cures. Today, Komen for the Cure reaches people in more than 200 countries and is the world's largest source of private funds for breast cancer research and community outreach programs, with nearly $1 billion invested to date.
Most important of all, these efforts have helped save millions of lives, making the two million breast cancer survivors living in the United States the largest group of cancer survivors today.
Because of your help, we are one step closer to creating a world without breast cancer.

XXX XXXXXX Street, NW
Washington, DC 20009
Dear Mr. DC,
Thank you so much for your contribution of $20.00 to Susan G. Komen for the Cure. Your support is hard at work bringing us closer to our goal of saving lives and ending breast cancer forever by empowering people, ensuring quality care for all and energizing science to find the cures.
Your support has helped us establish the global breast cancer movement and build a grassroots network of breast cancer survivors and activists fighting to save lives, empower people, ensure quality care for all and energize science to find the cures. Today, Komen for the Cure reaches people in more than 200 countries and is the world's largest source of private funds for breast cancer research and community outreach programs, with nearly $1 billion invested to date.
Most important of all, these efforts have helped save millions of lives, making the two million breast cancer survivors living in the United States the largest group of cancer survivors today.
Because of your help, we are one step closer to creating a world without breast cancer.
Sincerely,
<img src="http://www.info-komen.org/images/content/pagebuilder/11163.jpg">

BTW, last year I pulled Steve's name and (sorry!) I forget the place but I got a beautiful Celtic holiday CD that I am enjoying.
And Methead, the sweet furry friends at the CC-SPCA thank you!

Steve J. had an interesting pick. A Child Waits gives low-interest loans and/or grants to parents who want to adopt children from overseas, with an emphasis on disabled and/or older children, who are far less likely to be adopted.
No on-line donation method, so I stuck a check in the mail today.

I looked around the web-site and made a $10 donation tonight to TCFB
listed above. They have an option to make a monthly donation so I picked
that and will auto-send them $10 a month until next year's thread drive.
Thanks for running this, Seo ... a lot of interesting charities have been brought
to our attention over the years by doing this.
