Me and Dad



My father has recently moved in with us and at first I was very hesitant about this. Having a house full of children and then adding an 85 year old with dementia did take a little bit of getting used to. He has his moments, but I can say that it was the best thing I could have ever done for him. Although he didn't raise me while I was growing up, he is my father and needs to be with family. My children are great with him even though he will ask them the same question about 10 times in a row! We should all remember that we may be in his shoes later in life.
