Starting the daunting task with family of getting my mother who has aphasia/dimensia moved into our home temporarily while we try to find a proper memory care facility.

My mentor and best friend, my father passed away yesterday. My mother was present and doesnt quite understand, but does slightly understand what happened. They were married 62 yrs.

Its tough. Damn tough . He was the best father a family could ask for.
He is even putting all 4 of his grandkids thru college to live out their ambitions.
Parents lived very close by our familys in town to be near everyone. We saw each other regulary.
He is missed immensenly and this is the hardest thing I have had to type out in my life, but i need a release.
😭😭😭😭😭
We will move on in his honor of course, but it’s going to be a bit.
I’ll honor his legacy with the good times he brought us all.
We are having him interned in the National Cemetary for his service in the Marine Corps.
Semper Fi dad !

i couldnt say it better
we are here to hear
and keeping the smiles of the in the front of your mind does help
its odd, my wife and i were last night talking about her mom who we lost during covid, not covid related..
she spent lots of time in our house here and elsewhere
we swear she is here now in spirit form of some sort...
focus on the good , the soul never leaves us.
 
then i get to add
i am on day 3 of my 500 mile truck in shop because of a transmission hiccup
not mad at ford or dealer
dealer is getting it fixed, sent me home in a bronco big bend.. maybe time for some off roading
the cherry on top, is the superduty forum where we all talk of all things truck...some troll got upset because i mentioned the trans died and its being fixed.... so i took that as a challenge to bless his heart enough he tried to get the thread shut down
OH ITS A GOOD DAY :ROFLMAO:

Dad got us a M1 Garand because thats what he was issued in 1958 at basic. He still loved that rifle and asked me a few times when he came over to break it out. He could still prob field strip that thing blindfolded and he walked me thru its care when we got it . It was always bring a smile to my face for dad.

Fantastic memory brother. Sounds like your dad was awful proud of you.

I'm sorta staring down a similar situation myself. Only backwards. Mom is still in control of her faculties, but my dad is pretty bad with dementia. My little brother is dead and my sister, well, my sister is for my sister. So I am over there a few times a week taking care of things and I spend Thursday nights with dad while my mom bowls in her old biddy league. Gives her a break from looking after Dad, which is a 24/7 proposition these days. I was just there this morning. I bought her a few big shepherds hooks and put some feeders and suet cages out so they could watch the birds from their couch instead of having to stand at the back door.


It's a hard thing watching your parents age. We'll always have all those great memories though. At least until we develop dementia ourselves. Treat your kids good so they don't put ya in an old folk's home. :)

sorry for your loss.
 
we are gonna get hit some some snow, but suspected amounts are varying, and "up to".. 9"

gonna start around 11 PM, and go into late sunday morning

i already got the snow thrower and snow blower gas jugs ready....our 2 sons are staying over night, and the wife bought ham steaks, hash browns, eggs, pancake mix, waffles, for a big breakfast.

we have the cars parked to make snow removal easier, and faster.

sand buckets mixed with salt at the ready

listening to the weather via a scanner...

anyone recall this brand...????


(disregard the date/time, this damned camera loses time for whatever reason(s)

Should have bought a reliable Buick!
 
Having a cup of coffee and catching up on all the news on the forum. Seems like a lot of sad news today. Got husky food out and will go on a walk soon, I got up later this morning. Will be another great day here today but temps dropping tomorrow. Hope everyone has a great day.
 
After spending all night in the ER, the wife has a 6mm kidney stone. got there about 8 that night and back home about 5 the next morning. they give her all kinds of pain stuff and meds to help pass it. she was a lot better yesterday afternoon. i don't know if she has passed it or not. we will see about her this morning. she is still in bed. Thanks everyone for all the well wishes. much appreciated
