Looking at the house now it's kind of big, especially when hubby is out of town. l m thinking of moving to my little house at the foot of the mountain, which is rented out at the moment, seriously thinking about it actually. There is also another reason to this, the house that l m staying at the moment belongs to my parent, l moved back since dad past away in 1991, to kind of keep mom companion as well as taking care of her. This property is given to both my brothers, now that...... mom is not here, they might want to sell it anytime so better get myself prepare before l become homeless, hahahaha. Just like the distribution of mom's money.....according to the chinese tradition..nomally the $$$$$ only to be taken after 100days, but....they came asking for (less then 2months) the amount that mom told them which is way before she is sick, quite a bit of $$$$$ was spent during the last 6yrs when she had a mild stroke and especially during this major stroke for the last 6mths as she was in and out of hospital, l m sure you can imagine what is like for me...sigh... when the $$$$$ is concern. It's funny though.... when mom was sick, they have all kind of excuses, like "schooling day, working day, car not good or cannot apply leave" ect...... ect.......but for $$$$$ no trouble applying for leave, children can skip school, no need to worry about car breaking down, see.... what $$$$$ can effect a person, not that they have given alot of money to mom, infact almost nil, for those who came running asking for it, nobody came running asking to take care of mom when she was bed ridden, it is really so heart breaking sad.......

Money does very strange things to hoomans! We've found that out the hard way too!
Mom has also realized that as she gets older she appreciates smaller spaces too! They are easier to take care of!
Love ya lots,
Maggie and Mitch
I agree with Maggie and Mitch!
When its a matter of money sad things happen to families.
Good luck.

to think of it, being the only child is the best.....it's really sad to see family broken up becos of $$$, Lorenza, l found it out the hard way too, Maggie and Mitch, you are right Rachel, l must thank god for those 2 lovely people in my life.
Yes, keep your eyes on what's more important and not let all these less important things get to you. The house at the foothill sounds like a peaceful place to live in.
