Good morning, IamHisDaughter. I have been following your conversation thread and wanted to send my support. I am a 10 1/2 year survivor of AML. I was 59 at diagnosis and was blessed to achieve remission after conditioning chemo and stem cell transplant from my sister.
Your most recent note about caring for your Dad resonated with me. I was a caregiver for my two parents over 9 years until my Dad passed away at age 93 and my Mom died at age 96. There were days when I was so tired and occasionally frustrated with the challenges of dealing with our elder care facility. I always knew the time would come when I would be free to come and go freely through my life. Now that time has come, and I would give anything to have just one more hour with them. You are exactly correct, it is an honor and privilege to be able to care for our parents. I miss mine every day. God bless your journey with your Dad. You honor your Mom as you care for him.
