[QUOTE="Wewild, post: 637966, member: 671"] Good post. We had to finally take Dad's driving capabilities away last April and should have been done sooner. It was tough. Mother said he went off on the doctor and the doctor left her a call back message. When she called back, he said he didn't need to drive anymore. It was a purty strong talk. He was making sure he cleared himself and he is a good Doctor. I get the next call. After hearing this and the whole solution up to me and having a severe problem with it because of the emotion associated with this action, I pulled the coil wires from his vehicles. We still talk about his cars but have moved more to vehicles that were there before the ones he lost. We have gone back recently to one from 1994 that was his Dad's. It seems he thinks I have it as both were white but Granddads was a ford and mines a Chevy. We had just painted his 1993 Blazer cherry red because he was so obsessed with cherry red. I have never seen him smile that much ever in my life. Best $1400 I ever spent. The Blazer was gone less than a month latter. There are so many good times that come from the openness they show when they are no longer capable of maintaining the walls they built for all to see. In our case anyway. There is stress associated with the day to day handling that has to be done with him in his condition. He is my Father. He is no burden. I hate it for him. I may be rambling but I could ramble on. Thanks for the post. Take care. Y'all are in our prayers. [/QUOTE]
