Up until April of this year, he was able to live alone, drive, and   40  all of his own needs. His health has broken sown swiftly. I’m the only girl out of the five children. Being the only girl and a nurse  41  me at the top of the caregiver list. Taking care of a sick parent is very  42  , not at all like taking care of other patients. I have to   43  my own family to be here with Dad. I know this is   44  I need to be but it is still hard. I   45  abut 12-15 hours day taking care of him. I want to spend all of the time that I can with him because I know that our   46  left together is short.

At the same time, I find myself  47  that my brothers don’t help more. Sometimes, it is days between their   48  . they all have families of their own and busy lives but…so do I. My eldest brother does help some. He   49  at night. He comes in at 8 or 9pm and lets me go home. But he is up and   50  to hit the road at about 6 am. My   51  brothers pop in for 10-15 minute visits. It is   52  annoying. They say they  53  stand “to see Daddy this way” which I understand. It hurts me to see him so sick  54  weak, too. But …he’s our Dad. He has taken care of us our whole lives. I just  55  like we should all do our part to take care of him now.
