63. I'm so sorry, Botany. It's so hard to have to accept when a loved one can no longer

live safely in the home they love.

It was very fortunate that your dad was able to do so, till the end of his time here. What an accomplished man he was! I wish he'd had more time here, with your mom and you and the rest of the family, and all his loved ones.
