    So nice of you to do that. My wife won't. I'm in PA while my elderly, widowed mother lives in AZ. When she had cardiac arrest, I went out, saw how much help she could use, and brought it up to my wife. Answer?

    A resounding "no".

    If I want or need to help my mom long term, it basically means separation, and probably a divorce...

    Hate to hear that you can't go out on your own terms, but like x1heavy said, another chapter is opening. Hope your next endevour is bountiful and makes you happy. Good luck and stay in good health.

    There's only one mom, but wives are a dime a dozen.

    Man, that's rough. I'm sorry to hear that.

    I figure I didn't just marry the man, I married the family. And they're great.

    Hahahaha and wouldn't you know it my very last dispatch is SNAFU on a holiday weekend with no one answering phones. Been sitting 4 hours waiting for a turn n burn load. Automated system says call linehaul. Local and hub linehaul closed. Corporate not answering the "answer or die" number. Hub mgr not responding to txts. Got no trailer numbers, only a truck number that should have been here 4 hours ago.

    Is that irony or what?

    Funny how that works out. You can always expect a parting "screw you".

    Hope all works out well for you. I'm adjusting to riding alone. My wife of 45 years passed on November 4th. She road with me full time for the last ten years or so. Kinda tough but life goes on.
