Retirement?
I am nearing the point
I never thought I would--retirement. I always thought that was for old
people and I do not feel old. I have lot of plans of what I'd like to
do. There is a bit of confusion or apprehension though, because my husband
and I have a 33-year old severely handicapped daughter living with us
and will until we can no longer care for her. So--my plans are not just
mine; they re tied very closely to caring for her. This is somewhat
frustrating. Do I dare to dream of being "free" or will I always know
my life will be very structured and will have someone very dependent
on me?? Such a statement makes me feel embarrassed and ashamed. I love
my daughter and I have responsibilities for her care. I am glad God
chose my husband and I as her guardians.
