Dear Bruce and Ed,
I have read your script. It’s nice, but it would be better for you to have more real
discussion about how Shawn should deal with the problem of taking care of his
mother. Shawn can talk to the official to inquire about various possibilities for the
government to offer some help such as helping her to move into a nursing home near
Shawn’s house, providing subsidies, free medical care, or free day care, etc.
Best wishes,
Sandra
