Aquatic Money Pit and the book of Proverbs
Sorry I have not posted in a while but I have been super busy. At church we have been studying the book of Proverbs which is an excellent read. And maybe because I have been reading it, I was really hurt when my Dad did something very foolish. See my mom and I have a joint mutual fund and he took money out of it to buy an Aqautic Money Pit aka boat without telling me. Mom is incompetent due to the advanced stage of Dementia. Needless to say we had one hellatious fight over it. He did eventually do the right thing and gave the money back. I explained that I was holding on to the money in case he should die before mom and she would need immediate nursing home care. We sat down and talked about how it was simply unethical in my mind and he agreed that he had acted wrongly.
Now about Mom. She is getting to the point where is she not eating very much at all and we've had to invite Hospice into the home to help take care of her. This was not an easy decision but was totally necessary as the part-time home health aide quit to take on a full time job. This way she will be allowed to die at home with dignity. They even provide chaplain services as well as volunteers to relieve Dad when he needs to get away for a few hours.
Have to go back to work now.
