Such true words; that's part of the reason I am there at the nursing home with my Dad every single day, no matter how exhausted I am. I'm at the library next door to the place now, and I'm about to go there to help feed him, as the Parkinson's makes it difficult for him.
He has always been there for us, no matter what, and it's the least we can do for him.
