struggling with your parents...

[TitoFan]

Reading through some of the posts on this thread makes me understand some of you a little bit more.

Esta bien. Pero ahora hay que decir que ti ha pasado con mexicanos hasta que Todo Los fucking dias necesitas ofenderles y insultarles. 😎 Jajaja mi Espanol fucking ****ROCKS*****

Estas obsesionado con eso. Yo no te hago caso.

Truth is as much as it sucks..roles reverse. The first time I fed my Mom it tore my heart out. Then it gave it right back. The time I had to console my 140 lb frail Father who was balling his eyes out while he signed a DNR on her it happened again. We're the 'adults' now. But you always know where you come from.

That just brings a tear to my eye reading that.

We are going to have to go through that.

Very little dignity in death.

Be with them minus bitterness and take your victories where they appear. Be it a 'good' day or a good hour. Can't tell you how happy it is talking with him and he's 'sharp' and cracking a joke one day. A roller coaster though as dementia is gradual night v day erosion. Don't fear tomorrow..live and hold that moment with him.

Death is proof that life is meaningless

No, it is the opposite. Death says make the most of your life, enjoy it, laugh, inspire and be thoughtful caring to others less fortunate.

of course you have to make the most of this life but the fact that everything disappears shows that everything just slips right through your fingers.

Exactly Death is the greatest gift in that it reminds us of how lucky we are to have a chance to exist. Far more beautiful than some trick in which heaven, eternal life or reincarnation make life some kind of sick test or trial run for the real thing. For years I struggled with the concept but now realise that the actual physical universe allows for all the possibilities that religions lead people away from in an effort to steal that from them.

My Dad was not there for so much of my life and can be difficult a lot of the time but I try to remember to ring him every Week during Sabbath and we make each other laugh. He has multiple plastic joints, has had two heart attacks but still walks miles every day and writes a new book every couple of years.

Out, out, brief candle! Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player that struts and frets his hour upon the stage and is heard no more. It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.
