Visits to Dad- Dec. 24-30

Dad is pleasant most of the time, but he continues to ask bizarre questions. Like did my wife die? I don't remember that? How did I get here? (his new place) Are the photos on the wall my wife? He spent Christmas Eve with us all day. He was pretty exhausted when we took him home. On Sunday we visited him and he forgot to go to Church again. He said he didn't know where it was and that they changed the time. I took him up one floor and showed him where the chapel was again. Then we spoke to MaryAnne, the owner and she assured Dad that the meetings were always at 10:30am unless there is Stake Conference. I picked Dad up on Monday morning because he was out of milk. He bought a few other food items. He threatened to buy a car again. He had tithing settlement at 10am. (I told him NOT to pay anything, because he overpaid by 200 percent last year!)Tuesday night he was going to be picked up by his friends from Bountiful for Christmas party. I hope he went. He said he loves visits and gets so lonely. I told him all he has to do is step outside his door and he has lots and lots of friends. I've been taking his laundry home to do it, but I think today I am going to teach him how to do it. Sheryl and I believe it's best to start weaning Dad off of us a little bit, so maybe he will reach out to others.
