I’ve actually been taking care of my dad for 6.5 years already. He lost his foot in December and has been in a care facility getting rehab, and just recently got his prosthetic and will be coming home probably within the month. He’s a very, very difficult person to be around and take care of, mentally and physically – there’s tons of stuff about him on my general blog if anyone is interested, but it’s not happy fun stuff.

My husband’s mother, who has Alzheimer’s, moved to a house two blocks away several years ago, and I ended up doing a lot of care-taking. She’s in a care facility now, very small and loving, so the load is off, but there were times…. Does your dad have any special needs?

Anyway, more power to you.

(I.e., I hear you with the dishes and the laundry piles.) Seems now like I got so little done, before I made a family, musta been positively dull. So cool you’re using gardening to teach — can’t wait ’til we’re doing the same.
