I'm glad your dad seems to be improving. It must be awful for her (Mom) to miss the twilight years.
There ain't no jobs in Tulsa! Dad was right.
I know it's stressful for Mom to look forward to being a "caretaker," when they've been independent for a number of years. Their retirement community in Florida has facilities for residents who "go dotty," as they say down there, but I hope things will work out so Dad can be near us, if his condition deteriorates quickly. He might have a number of years while he still has pretty good functioning; we'll just have to wait and see.
I wanted to keep pretending it was just ordinary forgetfulness, but Mom wouldn't let me.
