Today I spent time standing over my father trying to make him eat. Seems like just yesterday that as a kid he was standing over me making me eat. It's come that time when I must take my dad into my home and care for him as he did for me as a child. Last weekend he had a car accident brought on my passing out. His health has been failing for some time but he refused to tell us of this for fear of having to do what I must do now. Take him from his home and familiar surroundings and bring him to live with me. I've been over a week now and hopefully he will be ready to travel by next weekend. I'm just thankful the accident was more serious and that I have a place and the means to care for him. I suppose most of us will reach this point with our parents at one point or another.
