Prayers for you and your father. I called my mom on Sunday, and when I told her my 59th birthday was last week, she asked, "how old am I?" In her Mother's Day card, I included several recent pictures of our gang. A couple were confusing, as my daughter included pictures taken last Father's Day, before I lost 30 lbs.
I refer to the "Before" picture as the "Pillsbury Dough Boy's Evil Father".
Thank you. Both my parents have passed on now. When my mother was still going in and out of reality, she would call and ask me if it was true that her mom and dad were dead. Then she would tell me how scary it was not to remember her life and she hoped it would never happen to me. My dad was fine mentally until the end and my sister and I think maybe that was harder. Our fvorite movie is “the notebook”, reminds us of mom and dad.
