I took care of my dad until he was 91. Then he fell, and broke his hip. He also needed to have diapers because of his incontinence. I was raising my grand kids at this time, and he became impossible to handle. I hated putting him into a nursing home. My dad wanted me to kill him, and he was miserable for the rest of his life. He died when he made it to 92 years old. My dad was a Christian, and wouldn't hurt a fly, I miss him so much.
