not alone. My daddy is 99 and starting hospice care. He has cardiac troubles now, his heart is getting weak, his body is tired. We don't argue about things. I have been caring for him for 10 years, along with mom too until 2016.

I swear the spike shots, plus the horrid fires in Canada trashing the air in Virginia pushed him to the limit.

Every day is a gift. we do not argue. He is an old democrat

that's just about how it ought to be. Wish mine was around so we could not argue.

try to remember the good things.

My parents knew I was conservative, and they were conservative democrats.

The media encourages party loyalty and honestly, both parties are terrible now.

Either case, we do not discuss politics in our family. Hubbs and I have decided that when politics are discussed not matter what, we just shut down and focus on the good thing we are together. We do not respond to negative statements either.

It takes time and practice but soon you get very good at it.
