I don't mind at all. With sewing for Christmas I may not be around as much as I'd like. Dad is so stubborn. He's had a triple bi-pass, diabetes, parkinson's, skin cancer, strokes, and we still can't keep him out of the yard pulling weeds. I'm across the country but talk with Mom and my sisters all the time. At this point I'm just glad he's still here and that Mom is able and willing to care for him. It breaks my heart that I'm not there to help so Mom can have a break. We're trying to sell our house and move closer but with the market like it is, I'm not sure we'll be living close by any time soon.
