It's not a big thing but I'm crying.

He does have a need to be useful and I will take your advice. He's really interested in my chickens, being a city boy from Brooklyn. I have explained to him that we have power and water already in existence along with a concrete pad leftover from the commercial houses just across the lane. It would be suitable for a mobile home so he could have his privacy. He could take meals with us, visit with us or not; his choice.

I'll write him that letter tonight.

Thanks y'all I feel better getting it all out.

Yes, write a letter and tell him everything....

That's not a little thing! It's your FATHER, of course you want to be near him!

I know how it feels.

Hope it works out for all

My Dad's sick, as you know Grits, and he lives in Florida also..
and he suggested we get that skype... so i'll be doing this very soon.

And heres your hug, My friend..

Yes Red, I keep your daddy in my prayers each day. My dad won't do the computer or the cell phone, we've tried. He's suddenly showing some signs of dementia so it would be almost impossible to teach him now.
I love the way my sister informed me of his fall on our answering machine - "don't get upset, dad took a fall and I posted the pics of his injuries on FB"

You sound like a wonderful daughter! I hope my girls feel the same way about me as they get older and start their own families!

Ugh... good lord! Yeah, that would have peeved me off too...

Thanks Nifty, but if I am it's only because I have a wonderful dad. I'm sure your girls feel the same way about you.

Dad is wearing one of those life alert buttons and he used it when he took his fall, which I'm grateful for. Who knows how long he would have laid out in his driveway (where he fell) without that button.

We can't always be with the people we love. We can only do our best with the situation we are in.

Thinking of you and sending well wishes to your dad!

I hope you get in contact with him soon or that he'll move to Arkansas with you. I think it stinks that your stepsiblings won't pick you up for a visit. It sounds selfish, it's not for them, it's for your dad.
