Scstocks, I had written a long reply to you, but my browser crashed and I lost not only that reply but also your message from my mailbox!! I had to excavate it from amongst the posts, but I was lucky enough to find it.

I won't try to reconstruct the lost reply, but will give you the short version: You'll never regret the time and love you give caring for someone like your father-in-law. My dad died of cancer; we three (remaining; two died young) kids helped mom take care of him for several months, and it was worth every bit of stress and strain we put out.

My mother-in-law is heading into 97 years now, and has dementia (not AzD, though). She lived with my wife and me for five years; then we had to put her into specialized care. Whereas my dad had his full mental faculties and was very appreciative, mother-in-law does not. She seems to assume that the care and love she gets is just normal. I sometimes refer to her attitude as "Queen of England Syndrome." It really doesn't matter; she's earned the right to be cared for after rearing four kids, one of which I'm fortunate enough to call "Lovely Bride."

So, go for it. And I hope you reap good financial rewards from COR, too!

I've been away from my keyboard for several days (outside painting my house, of all things!) and didn't get to read your reply until tonight. Don't let my laggardly ways make you think I don't appreciate the time you spent putting that reply together.
