I just got off the phone with Brother Brandt Sharp, Counselor in the Bishopric of the Centerville 19th Ward. He offered the resources of the Ward to help with Harold, including picking him up and taking him home from Church. I invited him to read the blog and share any insights from the Ward Family. His phone number is 801-397-1144.

Dad was in an extremely pleasant mood today. At breakfast (McDonald's), he shed a few tears over the loss of Gary and Mom. Me too! No talk of cars or moving. He grumbled about the police officer at Gary's home again. I changed the subject. We did quite a bit of grocery shopping. He enjoyed talking Marian, the cashier at Wal Mart, she has 9 children and 33 grandchildren. He said, he really enjoyed talking to people his age at which time, I mentioned that's why it would be well for you to visit the Assisted Living Facility. No comment from him.
I threw away a half of bottle sour milk in his fridge, but he should be good for a couple of days. He said he is walking to church tomorrow. I reminded him that Gary did drive him last Sunday. He had forgotten. He mentioned he had a doctor's appointment next week with Dr. Hendersen, his Urologist. (and Garys'!)
