report from n.j.

my big sis reports that our dad is doing well in the nursing home. he was moved there thursday. with his medication regime, she says he's actually cheerful, which is kinda unusual for him. she says he's been talking about the activities of the squirrels outside his window -- something he wouldn't have taken notice of in days gone by. in a way, i'm glad she's getting to look out for him now, even though he might not be fully aware of what's going on. she always wanted his approval and worked hard for it, and it always seemed to be the hardest thing for him to give, for some reason. but now he thinks that _i'm_ the one who organized the "big dinner party" for all the folks he imagines visited him a few weeks ago (my uncle 'n' i are the only ones who really showed).
