Playing catch up with your posts — I know exactly how you feel and having a great sense of humor is THE only way through! My Dad was truly my best bud and watching him struggle was very ughhhh….but so many funny moments too. Like the time, at age 81, he asked his Dr. “does my dickie still work? can I impregnate anyone?” YIKES. But the Dr was a champ and just told him to date women over 70 and he’d be good to go! You’ll cherish these cringey sad moments too, maybe you’ll even write a book about all of it….🤔 Sending a hug and please take care!
Good bumping into you today. Made me realize I hadn’t read this one. great piece. encapsulates your literary gift: thoughtful musings on the joys and challenges of the human condition…plus dick jokes!
Your mom is lucky to have your love and support. I’m working to prepare myself for a similar chapter and appreciate you shining a light on it.

thanks so much! I appreciate the perspective. And your dad sounds like a character. He raised a good one.
