Yes, downsizing is definitely something I’ll need to think about.

My dad is stubborn, for sure. He doesn’t want to be a burden, and I don’t think he fully gets the stress his care puts on me. My mom lived in a nursing home about 3 years before she passed from Alzheimer’s and even then he said he didn’t want to be put away in a home like that – even though he knew that was the only decision to make sure mom was taken care of. He’s at the just right spot where he needs help but is aware enough to know if I tried to get outside help.  I keep telling myself that one day I will wish he were still here for me to fuss about. Some days that works!

Thanks Anita~
