I didn't think about it, had to SURVIVE for myself. *After* I survive THEN I can provive...



ON EDIT: To attempt to mitigate the callousness of my post. I went through a few years in which my job survival was touch and go and had little of anything (material or effort) to spare beyond survival, and of the three of us siblings, one of my sisters and my parents had a mutual dedication of living together, such that this was never a factor in our situation all around. My parents lived out their lives at home, besides that they never reached the point of needing 24-hours care, just like my grandparents and almost all of my uncles and aunts. My sister's mission relieved both my other sister and me of this huge enterprise, and I am eternally grateful to her and I show it.
