I saw my dad today. My sister’s wife is out of town and she wanted the support. My brotherand his wife left as my sister waited for me. He thinks he coins in my sister’s safe (they are my dad’s coins) are worth millions. My brother told him that my sister was working on it so we walked into a mine field. After my sister said that the appraiser has them, it ended. My dad said he was pissed at y wife. I didn’t ask why. She quit her job to help take care of him. She was one of the first to realize how “out of it” he was. She promised him a lot of things in the trial run of one day.
I came home to her crying that she felt SO bad she couldn’t handle it. No one couldhandle him, that’s way he’s in a “behavior ward”. She hated being unemployed. She started her new job (she worked hard to find one) on Wednesday. It pays more than the one she left.
Meanwhile I wrote a rather “lashing out” letter to Galloping Gary because he keeps wanting to get into a political fight. I’m liberal.He is a 1%er. I felt so bad after I hit send. He wrote back that he didn’t mean to hurt me. He signed it “GG” which stood for Galloping Gary, although he left our group in 1982. (He lives in DC.)
Sorry no Stealing today. I’m wiped. Catch you next time.

Hugs!
Back at you…
God. What a thing to have to deal with. I’m sorry Bud. Glad your wife found a new job bc learning the ropes there will help her heal, too. She’s wonderful to have tried.
You’re wonderful to take the time to comment!
Wow. Just wow. I wish I could tell you it’s going to get better, but that would be bullshit. What I will promise you, after going through this with my beloved uncle who suffered with Parkinson’s, is that when you look back on your relationship with your dad, the bad memories will recede.
To quote The Lads: “You and I have memories longer than the road that stretches on ahead.”
