Sandwich generation

Going to visit MotherInLaw next week because she has been ill recently. Luckily, she has recovered but we still want to see her for ourselves, make sure she is OK, and spend some time with her. It also brings home the fact that as we are aging, so our our parents and it becomes more and more important to make sure they have all they need. As their children, we owe them that much. It's very hard when there is a physical distance between parent and child. In the old days, children tended to settle near where they grew up. But nowadays with jobs, careers, marriage, etc, everyone is flung far and wide. I don't have the answers. But we Boomers are in a unique position - dealing with our own aging, something we never ever imagined and helping our parents face theirs.
Remember "never trust anyone over 30"? Thirty? What's that? A number in the distant past.
