Lovely pictures. I appreciate your description of your dad. I don’t know how old he is, or you. Some years ago, I moved my demented dad and competent mom to an exteded care facility near me. It was a huge transition but she thrived with new people and activities for many years. She’s now 98 and frail, but still has her wits. It is so hard to watch from afar. My family name comes to an end with my generation too. None of the two male cousins with the name had children. My sister and I kept the name but she didn’t give it to her kids and I had none. It’s strange, but it happens. Thanks for writing.
