There are two words that I have learned go together. The words elderly and patience. I keep reminding myself that my father is changing and that I need to change with him. As he gets more forgetful, I must get more mindful. As he gets more agitated, I must get calmer. I must treat our relationship like a seesaw. I need to make the adjustments to keep the plank level. A little more weight here and a little less weight there. It needs to be a pleasant ride.
