days with my father

my sister-in-law in seattle sent us a link to this website. very sweet and sad. (you've gotta click on the bottom of the pic to navigate the site.)

the doc told my big sis this week that he thinks dad should be moved to hospice. our father is now down to 88 pounds, losing fine motor skills and appetite. the good news is he seems to be in a pretty good mindspace -- told the lady that brought him his hearing aids (which were ordered a seeming eternity ago) to tell my sis that he needed his black suit because he's going to the white house (to meet barack? -- probably not; he and my sis are the _conservative wing_ of my fam). looks like i might be headed back to jersey again before too long.
