I feel really bad for not keeping up "My story" and not being more pro-active on this site.  I sometimes feel terribly disorganized and unable to keep up with things. Tonight I'm working on my parents' expenses from October... Bookkeeping is rarely anyone's favourite task, but it must be done. Especially as money is owed to me, and my December credit card statements are pretty hefty.

Having said that, my father is doing really well. He's at a good weight, his team of caregivers is stable, we've established a more comprehensive routine for him. One of my brothers was in town in October and took a few video clips, something he does whenever he comes (usually once a year). I would like to post a "compilation" here. No promises as to when I'll get that done, but it's something I want to do if only to be able to send the video to his caregivers who have moved away. While we find it hard to accept my father as he is today, the video clips help us see how he was and how he has changed over the years. In other words, today is the best he'll be ... so we have to cherish that.

Be strong, be patient, and know that whatever you do is better than doing nothing at all.
