i have been gone last few days.  feels like days of hell.<br />
<br />
1st on wed my sister called me with news that another of my sisters father in law had passed away and for me to go tell our dad in person as she did not want to tell him over the phone.  dad is 78 and has many health problems (congestive heart failure, stroke, kidney failure and alzhiemers).  but he decided he wanted to go to the funeral (550 miles away) so i told him i would take him after my sisters gave us permission.<br />
so thursday morning we headed out had a good day on the road-- i made plenty of stops to let him stretch etc.  we got to my sisters about 5pm and we visited with her and another sister that came over as well as with my nephews that stopped by.  as dad goes to bed early he realised that he was not at home and got a bit jittery but finally got him into bed and he slept &quot;well&quot;.  friday was the funeral and dad got up with &quot;ok i am ready to go home&quot; .  told him ok lets for to funeral home first then we would head home.  we did that then came back home.  got in late last night.  i was hoping to stay the weekend but with dads alzhiemers he panics so we thought it was best for him to be back in his &quot;safety&quot; zone.<br />
<br />
so today i just plan to rest as this 1100 plus mile trip in 2 days has kicked my behind--<br />
<br />
<br />
sorry this is long<br />
<br />
hope everyone has a great weekend
