Dad will move soon

I called my brother today to find out how Dad is doing. I call where he is currently at, and they tell me I can't have any information over the phone. I have asked repeatedly for my brother to make sure that it's in Dad's chart that I can have this information. I'm his daughter, for crying out loud! When I tell them I'm not local, they just give me the same crap-"Sorry, we can't give out any info over the phone." What a load! I gotta get that worked out...Or perhaps not.

Sigh.

The person they were waiting for (at the new place) to pass on, has done so, and so Dad will be moved later on this week. Brother said he's not averse to it, and told him he'd be able to see the lake, the mountains, and that it was a smaller place and had a nice back yard too.

It's really sad...that he had to wait for someone to die before he could get into this new home-His final home. No more moving around from place to place. I feel sad for the other Family and their loss. I pray that they can remember the good and the positive in their hearts, and that they can move on, in love.

I hope they can give Dad the attention he needs at this new place, and that they are genuinely caring and full of love for their residents...I hope that when he drops his glasses that someone will pick them up and place them lovingly on his face. I hope that when he drops his National Geographic, that someone will pick it up right away and not let it get all crumpled under his wheels. I hope they give him time in the backyard so he can be out in the air, and get the sun on his face. Those things will calm him. I hope they make sure that he eats, and that they give him chocolate chip cookies from time to time. Those are his favorites. You know I'll be bringing a few dozen next time we come up there.

It seems like such a long time before we can go up there again...I sure hope it goes fast.

Hugs Dad...I Love you!!
