I thought, I’m going to be one of those weird adult kids who live in the basement, gain 300 pounds and hang out in a pink sweat suit

Cherished Time Together

For more than 40 years, Woody has been a member of the Grunyans, an a cappella jazz group. He can still sing his solos, the music somehow making a pathway through the plaque in his brain. After a recent rehearsal, Woody begins singing “Now the Day Is Over” in the car. Mary Ellen and Rosemary join in, and, in the darkness, Woody reaches across the seat to put his hand on his driver’s arm. “Glad to be with you, Daughter,” he says.

Mary Ellen reaches back. “Glad to be with you, Dad.”

Oh no..Please dont put him on a Home. Here in the Philippines, we care for our parents or grandparents until they die(knock on the wood).We dont have Homes here where we can live our elderly relatives behind to someone else's care. Actually, we have a Home here for the Aged but those elderly who lives there are totally abandon by relatives. It's a goverment establishment. Which is far cry from those in the US since its still family members who pay for those elderly's expenses ans still visits.
