[quote=Anonymous]I'm not the person who lives closest to my elderly father, so please take this for what it is worth. But try to remember, it goes so quickly. A few years ago I used to get frustrated with my dad, annoyed that he was cheap and self-involved etc etc. And four years from the last date I can really recall having that strong feeling (at a family event), he is now in full nursing care, with advanced Alzheimers, clueless and incontinent and sleepless and anxious. Despite great caregivers. They seem like they are going to live forever one minute, and before you know it, their life as they knew it will be behind them. I was never perfectly patient or understanding with my parents but if you can do better, you will live with fewer regrets.[/quote]
