Granted...some days are better than others. Today there is a heaviness.
We are on a roll trying to find that 'perfect' home for our Father. He falls in the category of needing constant 24 hour watch, but not sick. He has to have a place that is a lock down. He will find a way out. He reminds me of an ant. The least tiny opening, out he will go.
I admire his gumption, his determination, his kindness, his fight to survive, and his spunk. He is a gentle man and a gentleman.
I wonder what it is like in his mind. That he can't find himself must be a frightening experience, that I can't even go to. I picture him running around in his mind like a lost child seeking something familiar that will give him comfort. Grasping at any memory and trying to find it's place. How hard, how very hard.
He ask my sister if she was Lula? He ask if Lula had sent him away to this place? Lula is his deceased wife.
This chapter in our family is not a good chapter. I wonder what the ending will be. We are looking to God to bring about His plan for Dad. He knows the circumstances of each daughter. He knows Dad's financials. He knows and has gone ahead to prepare this path and will meet him there.
May we daughters have the ears to hear, the wisdom to know.
I ask for prayer.
I love you,
Mom/Meme/Linda

Thank you, Martha. There are so many that have traveled this path before us and in that there is comfort and encouragement found. I suppose that everyone with parents cross this bridge at some degree...Worldwide. I love you, sweet friend!
So sorry to hear you Dad is getting worse, that is the way this horrible disease goes…..
I will be praying for your precious Daddy adn for all of you! Those decisions are never easy. Many hugs to all of you. Love, Jayne
You describe our Dad so well, so true!! Eating breakfast with him this morn I thought, 'what a blessing' to be able to be with him. I pray he won't have to be in a place where he feels deserted. It is a hard decision, sometimes he is so 'himself', other times you know he needs more than you can give him. Love you sister for being able to voice our feelings!
