FROM SOUTH CAROLINA
I care for my Dad, George, who has rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, COPD and emphysema. It's hard sometimes, to manage care and work full time, but we do the best we can. Times get rough. I believe I'm doing all I can for my Dad at this point in time. We are a close knit family and always have been. We like to have get togethers with extended family when we can. My dad likes spending time with his grandchildren. He also still likes to cook a meal when he's able to. He also likes to sit on the deck and watch cars go by. He is a silly, good natured man who cares for his family very much.
