Memories of Daddy
Memories of my sweet daddy are of my lifetime. But I’ll share the past 6 years, my husband Wesley and I were his Direct Care Givers. Dad wanted to live in his own home in Jasper, Texas. Before his wife Lillian died 2014, it was okay for him to live at home. My youngest brother lived with them. Dad was blind and no longer able to drive. Wesley went to his home twice a week at lease,( a 60-mile drive, one way) to take him to town for groceries and etc. My brother drove him places or went to pick up things for him also. After his wife had died, we tried to get him to live with us. But he wanted to be at home. Late October he had a bad fall outside.Cutting his arm to the bone. We had him set up with Life Alert, but he couldn’t remember to push the button.We had to put him in a VA contracted faulty temporarily for a few months, trying to help him get use of his legs.again. We visited him at least three times a week. Finally, in August 2015, we brought him to live with us. Some of my happiest memories of him and I spending so much time together.
