It seems that you are taking it upon yourself to break the cycle of your parents.

I already have in so many ways.

Ooof. Beautiful. Raw. Brutal. Landing in all the places I’ve visited. Excavated. And which clearly still have a live wire. Thank you.

Sorry to hear you are going through this phase of life. I'm about 4 years younger than your Dad. I take only 5 pills a day. I divorced my wife when my kids were young but I obey my daughter now!

I worry how she will take it when I'm expired since we are so close. I send her cat memes almost every day. I lost my mother just 6 months ago. I don't know which is harder. Losing a parent tragically or watching them suffer from old age and disease. You have reminded me that I want to write a story about my Dad on the "interweb" which did not exist when Dad died in '75.

Thank you for your insights.
