FROM MINNESOTA

I am full time caregiver to my parents but my mom is in pretty good health. They are both 80 years old and my dad has lots of medical conditions and complications. Recently he has been going through full memory loss and its been really hard, so I have to constantly remind him of everything. I administer his medications and take him to all his appointments and take care of his financial issues too. He is my dad so I try to take care of him as much as I can, he enjoys to go to mosque so I take him every week and remind him everyone's names and he likes to spend time with my kids, we all live together so its easy to take care of him and I am always there when he needs me.
