Talking My Dad turns 97 today.

And still going along pretty well. Starting to struggle a bit but not bad for his age.

Still lives in his own home although only 3 nights a week. We take him every 3 weeks from Thursday till the next Monday, then 3 nights at home himself, then my sister takes him for 4 nights, then 3 at home then my second sister for 4 nights and then back to us.

My Mother (94)is in a care home nearby, she has Alzheimer's so she needs 24/7 care but my Dad visits when we can, at least once a week.

Dad was an RAAF bomber pilot in WW2, based in England, met my mother when she was only 17, married at 18 and still together.

With all the sad news in The Lobby these past weeks or so, I thought some brighter news might be in order.

Take care of your folks guys.

Ian
