Yep……..not always the best relationship….think of dad as Archie Bunker….me, meat head…

Spent most of the day at the hospital……a lot of issues. Almost 90, leaking heart valves, fluid build up, he can’t hear even with a hearing aid, doesn’t understand a lot…..

agrues a lot, with nurses, doctors….hasn’t dealt with aging well, bad decisions, should not be alone, but does not listen……talking with my younger sister who spent a month at home with the folks before Christmas, and it wasn’t fun…..

You know it’s been a life..taught me how to ride a bike, and a few other things, and helped me through a lot of rough times….I wasn’t the best son, call me the black sheep of the family….and mom…OMG, she’s I think just holding on trying to support and guide, but it is harsh.

I guess this is all a part of aging, but it’s a hard challenge……some I guess deal with this better……maybe some worse, but, well, life does go on?
