Soon it will be a year since finding my dad at death's door and the crazy days of moving him through the hospital/rehab to assisted living. At the same time emptying his mess of an apartment.
Then came his own insistence of prep for death & wanting to give away what little he had left- I did what he wanted and was fine with it, but..
I was not prepared for what is happening now.
He is starting to think more clearly, and to gain weight.
Just this month he has started to write his own checks again.
He is going outside and today was looking for his binoculars to watch birds.
I was prepared for him to die
I am not prepared for him to live.

Sounds like you are getting more time with him and that is just what God had in mind.You just never know.. Mom did that was doing really well for months and then Wham! Downhill fast. As long as you do what HE wants you have nothing to worry about, it was his decisions that you carried out. Hnag in there...each day is a blessing.
You are so brutally honest - I admire that
