Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire My Dad earlier today

Ah man Rodger. Gd bless ya. But as the Man said, you'd best behave.

Hey Dad.

Seems like an ornery one!

Sad to see.

We will all be there someday.

He was being nice.

That's part of life, and seen it replay many times over.

Glad he's there with you, Roger. That's how it should be.

Bless him.

That's what makes it sad.

Life’s weird sometimes. We just have to take it as it comes. I sure miss my mom and dad.

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.

God Bless him and you..

My dad's 90.5 and still going strong. He chooses to use the walker to be safe, but sometimes forgets and realizes he's been walking around without it (which he, mostly, can do fine). Still sharp, too. Never let his license to practice medicine expire, so still prescribes for family.

I miss my mom who passed away a few years ago. She was bedridden for the last few months, like Roger's dad is.

I'd watch, but can't. Watched my dad slowly die 5 months ago. Had to take mom to ER last night for bleeding ulcer. God bless you and your dad. Said a prayer for him.

He doesn't remember the combo to the safe.

Thank you

He spends a lot of time singing now, I never knew he could sing or that he has a good voice. He was first chair trumpet in the Army band in DC when Kennedy was president.

God bless you STX.

Roger;
Good afternoon sir.

I've taken 3 runs at what I want to articulate to you my old cyber friend and erased them all.

As you might recall, we dealt with dementia in my much loved Mother in Law for more than 6 years and for nearly 3 years with my Mother.

Someday I really should write down all it taught us Roger. Maybe doing that would help someone else going through what we did, I don't know.

I will remember you and your family in my prayers though sir, that I will do.

Dwayne

Yes we will.

God bless you and hold tight.
