What a week!

Last week was a bit crazy but I felt that I accomplished so much. My Father is doing well - a couple of really good days last week but as soon as the weather got cloudy he became a little confused and somewhat sad. Today he is in good spirits and looking forward to planting his flowers and watching the NBA Playoffs. We are scheduled for his specialist appointment and an attorney that his sister recommended is also available to meet with us right after the upcoming holiday.
I know that someday he is going to wake up and not remember me - but I am doing everything now to make that day not come for a really long time. I have had a couple of friends that had to make that awful decision to place their parent in assisted living care. Each of them told me that as soon as their parent was removed from their home - their health quickly deteriorated. My Father's future changes are not fully known since this form of Alzheimer disease is not widely researched. As I travel down this road there are many decisions that I will need to make. All I can say is that I am faithful that I will have divine guidance!
As far as my 13 year old - she is realizing that having a "boyfriend" is not all that! The text messaging continues but she does not seem as smitten with a particular boy like before.
It was a wonderful Mother's Day yesterday and I have to say... life is good for this Sandwich Parent!
