This little guy makes me smile through all the confusion. Timmy is the latest arrival in August 9. Male, about 6 months old at the time I write this. Just the thought of moving NINE CATS 600+ miles to my Dad's house. And what about poor declawed Pepper?
The "crap tornado" that is my life continues to gather speed!
And these lovely ladies. My new group at the gym this season. What becomes of my coaching career?
Sweet Rusty seems Ok with it all. Big, mellow orange boy! Nothing phases this gentle giant. He showed up in early Spring with his sidekick, Sparky. She's a she girl, white with black spots.
Oh beautiful white house....what will become of you?
No easy decisions - just tough choices. I think love will triumph.
ReplyDeleteMy husband and I have faced similar dissues
ReplyDeletewith relatives who could only rely on us for support so I know this is a difficult time for you. Perhaps the real answer is for your dad to move, then you don't have to give up your career which, horrible as this might sound, you will need after he has gone. Whatever you do remember to consider your long term needs and not just your dad's short term needs. There are no easy answers but try to do what is best for both of you and not just what makes life easier for others.
Such difficult issues and decisions spinning around you! I do agree with the above poster about thinking (and considering) your long term needs versus what your Dad needs. You are in my thoughts.
ReplyDeleteThese decisions regarding aging parents are so difficult to make. Back in 2011 we moved my dad and his dog up to Washington from Arizona when both my mom and sister passed away. There just was no other way for him to receive the care he needed. It wasn't easy for any of us. I'm sure after much thought you'll make the right choices.
