Linda, your father was lucky to have a daughter like you. I have a daughter who says things that make me feel bad, but she does not mean for that to happen, and she is a wonderful person, just lacks patience. I am sure your father knew how you felt. My dad had a heart attack 41 years ago, is 80 now, and PD has been very rough on him, he can hardly move. I know we will miss him badly when his time comes, but we hate to see him so miserable. We have to trust God to know what is best, and meanwhile we pray for a miracle. I spent years expecting the phone to ring with bad news, and never imagined he would have anything like PD. I hope the new year brings you many good things to compensate for your loss. [log in to unmask]
