“Daddy, why can't you remember to keep the door open for me when I come by?”
“Son, I forgot ... and the last time you came by, you left some things here that we didn't know what to do with.”
“Dad, I'm getting help for my needs … when will you?”
“I keep listening to Mom, who says I really don't have any problems and likes the way we live here ...”
“As you know, Dad, I love you always and thank you for always standing by my side … but there are times when I worry about your even standing too long before you fall.”
“I'll be alright … I”m not giving up keeping my job … no matter what! … even from what some of supposed friends and staff tell me.”
“Well, please reconsider this so that you can get the help that you need and we all can be safe.” Click here to post or read comments.
