My father died in December. He had spent the last several years in hospital, and my mother spent a lot of her time him. That is without doubt, a situation for any family. And the was a team of fairly frustrated family members.
My biggest frustration was trying to why he didn’t make choices that would him to be involved more fully in the lives of his grandchildren. Yet he each and every one of them. Every morning he asked my mother which of his grandbabies was going to that day. He had frequent visits from his collection of loving grandkids.
