Family Visits

I don't have a large family.  That being said, the family I do have is spread all over the country.  Last month we took my father to California to see his brother and his niece.  Earlier this month my niece came out to see her grandfather all the way from Connecticut.

My father wants so desperately to see his entire family before he dies. Yet I notice when he does have an opportunity to see a family member all he does is complain!  My poor niece was bombarded with trivial nonsense that was triggered when my father saw her!

My father has so many complex and convoluted issues that even he can't keep up with his own feelings.  Just the other day he said to me, "What is my eldest daughter's name?  However, ask him what his beef is with his eldest daughter, and he can't spit it out fast enough!  He remembers every dime he has given to people, and every fight or disagreement.  But ask him if he enjoyed the movie, he saw last night and he'll ask, "what movie?  We went to the movies last night?"

I love my family.  I know dad loves them as well.  Now if I can only get him to remember that the next time a family member visits.
