Hope I live that long. You’re a good man Rog. I also hope I can take care of my old man when he reaches that stage. He lives over a thousand miles away in Arkansas though. Thanks for posting this.

Hey Dad.
Seems like an ornery one! He was being nice. That's what I figured. Our Mom was in a home for the last 8 or more years, even with caretakers she couldn't stay at home. So happy for your dad he gets to be with you folks. Wish we could have done that for mom. And, for a nice Catholic lady she sure got ornery at times too. Won't mean much, but tell your dad I'd like to meet him.
The desert is a true treasure for him who seeks refuge from men and the evil of men.
In it is contentment
In it is death and all you seek

Nice to see he still has a sense of humor ! My Mom and Dad are both 86, dreading the day when something goes bad. How old is he ? Take care Rog !
Due to the increased price of ammo, don't expect a warning shot...

Disable his pistol as sly as you can Roger.
If you already haven't.
Firing pin on a revolver or pistol filed down job.
Especially if he is coherant in that clip which he seems to be compared to what you have expressed to how he is at other times.
Good on you for taking care of him at home.👍👍👍
Alot of people would wash their hands of it all and send their parent off to a nursing home. He doesn't remember the combo to the safe. Gotcha... Thought he might have one accessible within reach. 👍👍👍

Your a good son Rog.

I watched earlier, but just getting a chance to comment.
Good on you for watching over your Dad, Roger. So many people wouldn't do it. You're a good son.
It's tough to see a strong willed man in decline, but it has to be far tougher for him. My own Dad will be 82 in August and has prostate cancer, which he refuses treatment for. I think he's without purpose after losing my step-mom in 2018.
I hope you're able to get some quality time with him while you're still able. Lord knows that life is short enough, and all we really have are the good people in our lives.

God bless, Roger. After watching my dad and his siblings care for grandma from 91-93yo so she could live out her days on the farm, I am aware what a labor of love you and yours have committed to. I’ll say a pray tonight that your family enjoys more good days than bad with the old soldier.

I bet your Dad was one neat dude in his day. He clearly has some real spunk left in him. Continued prayers for you boys, from us in N.C.

You're a good boy Rog, Thanx for taking care of the old man I for one appreciate your willingness to do what so few are willing to do.
I took care of my mother for 3 years after dad passed, she had emphysema. It was a lot of work to do so but it was an honor to hold my mothers hand as she passed.
Enjoy what few moments you have left with Pop, you'll never look back and regret any of the time you spent doing so.
