Thanks. His mother lived to be 98. My mom’s aunt lived to be 97. Here aunt lived with my mom and dad for 7 years.
Dad still drives locally and lives alone. But I go by in the evening to get him ready for sleep. He has circulation problem due to veins removed almost 10 years ago for quadruple bypass surgery. 6 months ago he had a pacemaker put in, it really helped him.
I message dads toes, feed and ankles to be sure the blood does not pool in his feet. It has made a big difference in how he sleeps.
On working. I traveled for a living, outside sales for 30+ year. In the wholesale distribution business for 35 years total. But I work some of my father’s land now. We have a certified planting seed operation. It’s small, but works very well as far as quality is concerned.
He likes to set in the Pickup and “supervise”. Actually he naps quite a bit, but it does him good to get out. He was a very talented builder, mechanic, welder and equipment operator. He was a general contractor, commercial and residential for many years. Wished I could show you some of the buildings he built without a set of blueprints. I’ve seen him cut hip and valley rafters standing on the ground that fit perfectly, he understood a framing square perfectly.
What an incredible story.
Your father sounds like he has had a full life and has much talent
And you sound like a good child :)
Funny we are still children in the biological sense of the word, even at 50, 60 or 70 :)
