[quote=Anonymous]I think your discomfort stems from your never having seen your father interact with people this way before. It’s new to you and you’re questioning whether something has changed with him. If you’re not seeing any other behavioral changes, I wouldn’t worry about it. As my dad aged, he eventually stopped being the ruggedly masculine, hard charging guy of his youth and transformed into a soft spoken, tender grandpa with endless patience. The aging process softened his edges and made him a little more emotional. People are humbled when they’re confronting their mortality and it makes them grateful for all the help they receive that they didn’t need just a few short years ago. Combine all of that with your dad’s recent major life change and the extra friendliness and kindness he’s been shown, and his actions are understandable. He sounds like a nice old man.[/quote]
