When, suddenly or not so suddenly, they are not listening or not taking the right steps or not following doctor’s orders, we come to realize that they may be just human after all.

My own father died in July 2008 and it still stings. And, yes, this whole parenting of parents thing is something I think about a lot especially since I am now a parent myself. This is tricky business indeed. Love the sandwich metaphor; I think it is quite apt. Thanks for your words.

And with both of my parents, I know I’ll have to bully them to go to the doctor. Sigh.
