Helping my father

[orthodoc]

start a new life. He's been alone for the past four years, since his second wife died. His friends have gotten older and become frail and he has, in his words, been living a real-life version of Groundhog Day. Until this summer he wouldn't discuss moving, but this summer he decided it was time. He's very sharp but has a neurological problem that has left him with pain and significant weakness in his legs. For someone who grew up hunting, fishing, and being active all his life, it's very frustrating for him.

I'm in the Toronto airport this morning, en route to Ottawa to pick him up and bring him to PA this weekend. He'll live with us - fortunately the house is very well designed for someone with mobility issues. He's looking forward to this ... just happy I can do this for him.
