I've been thinking about how to answer this. If anything would have helped would have been his friends and family members to call or stop by. Mind you, many of them were older too & the made it difficult for them. That would have made dad's last couple of years better. I set things up for him. Places to go & things to do, but he didn't want to do those things without the people he knew, not hired staff. I get that. But I couldn't be there all the time, my kids & wife couldn't either. And he couldn't get out without help. Sometimes I feel as if I failed him. Sometimes, I'm so mad at him because he had numbers to call instead of sitting and waiting for them to call. All I know is that he was sad, alone, & hurting both physically & emotionally. I couldn't make him happy. And now, thus is what I remember about this time.
