Bittersweet Chocolate

I am a lucky 57 year old woman,living in the North Bay Ca. I have a great husband, a job, and dear freinds and family close by. 2004 I moved my then 85 year old mom down from Anchorage with us. I waited to accept a new job for two months, to take care of all her physicals ect. One month after I started the job, my mom was diagnosed with cancer. It has been a worldwind, and although she is close to 24 hours care, on good days we can still make good fun and movies together. My employer is  family owned business, and have given me the go to take care of family first but just get my job done. Money has disappeared these last few years with medical coverings-depends, aide care but we are making it. We can not go to far with my mom due to her health. In a perfect vacation I would take my mom, myself and husband, my daughter and husband (both unemployed) their two sons, my neice whos husband has just returned from Iraq, and leaving for korea soon and their 3 sons (5-12) and I guess my moms aide to vacation property 315346. I would fly with my mom and wheelchair down, and everyone else could drive. We grew up in So.cal and it would be a great total family last hurrah to celebrate my moms (great grandma to all 5 great grandsons) 91st Birthday.
