I DON'T regret spending the last 2 years caring for my dad through his dementia! It was a blessing my siblings will never get to experience as they had little to do with dad. Dad passed on Monday morning at the age of 88 years old. The 15th of next month would have his and mom's 67th wedding anniversary. Dad was an electrician for 42 years before retiring and as a kid worked on dairy farms in NE Wisconsin. He was 5'-7" and about 175 pounds, I'm 6'-4" and about 240, I used to stand over him and call him shorty, he'd reply I might be short and skinny, but so is dynamite! LOL! He was a character and my mentor, started me hunting over 50 years ago, see ya dad!
