How do you feel about getting older?

My dad lives in a wonderful independent living facility. The only reason he can is that he has caregivers 24/7 (and an RN to coordinate his care). He has long term care insurance that covers part of the cost, but it’s still expensive. He’s fortunate he can afford it, otherwise he’d be in a nursing home.

I arrived yesterday and Dad is covering the cost for me to stay in a guest room right down the hall from him. It’s really nice. I got in at 11:30 pm and we talked until 1 am (we’re both night owls). Incredibly, he is happy and very positive. I hope I have his attitude at 87!
