My Mom and one of my three sisters are taking care of the details as I am trying to recover from a stroke.

For the last 9 months my dad drove the 20 minutes to our house so he and mom could spend time wwith me. I couldn't get into their house because of steps. They hadn't been here for a couple of weeks so I knew dad must not be doing well. I was going to try to get up the steps on mother's day but dad slept most of the day.

I hate I didn't get to see him again but I know he loved me and I love him. We had worked out any differences we had. He even became a Democrat after a lifetime of being a Republican.

I'll probably be back here a lot.

Thanks again.
