I haven't been too active but it is with good reason. I have documented the health of my father-in-law, Ronnie and he is still up and running but it has definitely been harder to manage with him and my mother-in-law three plus hours away.

This Summer, we finally made the decision as a family to get them closer to step in when life was a bit too much. His neuropathy is becoming a problem and I can't let him struggle anymore.

Wife and I have been going back and forth to the Cape with them for a few years now, with those visits now happening every other week. It is a lot to juggle with full-time work and our own responsibilities.

Luckily, the market is so insane that they got asking for their house within a week and a half and we were able to get them a house not only in our town, but in our neighborhood!

Good times ahead for sure.

My absence has been in dealing with selling a house, buying a house, packing a house, fixing a new house, and really trying to step in to be the man they all need.

I'm not perfect by any stretch but I know they deserve my efforts.

I wanted to check in as the last thread I did was a BANGER where me and @NoGoodNamesLeft finally met and had meat together.

My question for you guys is what advice would you give to a guy that is basically going to be a caregiver for a great, great man?

I want to hear challenges and things that worked for you. I always said distance was a tough part so now with that out of the equation, what say you?
 
If you guys are going to be care takers for him you're going to need a solid schedule so you don't get stressed the fuck out sir.

You're also going to schedule you're own personal time with your wife, and your side hustle.

It's not going to be easy in any way (which you already know) but you and your wife are angels in human form for taking care of him.

Tell the old man that Lemur loves him and to never give up even when its hard.

Much love to you and your family.
Big man hugs to everyone especially you and your wife sir.

Having gone through that myself, it is an honor to take care of a family member who cannot take care of themselves. You will need time to take care of yourself though. The care giver needs care too.

Don't be afraid to get professionals involved.

People always have this guilt like "I should be the one to take care of him/her" but that's a heavy burden for family.

I think about what I would want in that situation. Do I really want my daughter and her husband to wipe my ass and bathe me? No, I'd rather they just put me in a home where professional strangers do that. At least then I'd keep some dignity with my own family.
