[quote=Anonymous]My father made hand gestures during his last dinner in the dining room of the assisted living facility where my parents lived. I ate lunch or dinner with them there several times a week and saw my father having increasing difficulty over the last weeks getting the soup and other foods to his mouth without spilling. He didn't want anyone to help him. Sometimes other residents commented on the mess he made as we left the dining room. He still enjoyed the dining room meals, but stopped attempting to load his fork with food and seemed content to make the gestures of raising his fork or spoon to his mouth without eating anything. I think about this often, as it was both a sad and beautiful memory of my father. He was 84 years old. Thank you for bringing up the topic.[/quote]
