When someone you care deeply about begins to try to serve you cottage cheese that has been in the kitchen cabinet for who knows how long, with an expiration date of March 24 2006.... it's time to take action to protect....
My Mom is beginning to completely lose it. She pulled out this cottage cheese tonight and I thought I was gonna puke on her shoes...
But I collected myself very quickly and calmly asked her to throw it away and that I would go back over to my house and get some cottage cheese that is fresh. I did..
I'm sad today about this. My Mom was the sharpest woman I have ever known. Clear thinking, a great teacher of sprit and love... and I miss her.
Now it's my turn to love, care and be here for her. God help me.
