The Four Agreements are a life-long process. More power to you, Sis. Father is a lucky man to have you as his advocate. Love, Sis Hi Sis,
When I WAS getting my master’s degree, I excitedly announced to Baba, “San Francisco Medical Center offered me a job– and I haven’t even graduated yet!”
I was sooo proud of myself.
Father: How much does it pay?
Me: $15 an hour.
Father: Your cousin makes $50 an hour…

You could hear the pin (made in China) popping my happy balloon and watch it deflate slowly to the ground.

I was in my 20′s so I probably responded with more than just “What the…”
The Four Agreements are a life-long process.
More power to you, Sis.
Father is a lucky man to have you as his advocate.

Love,
Sis

More and more baby boomers are finding themselves in positions of taking care of elderly parents. I think the best thing to do is just to be there for them no matter what. After all, they deserve to have the best quality lives in their sunset years. And, I like it that you are your dad's exercise coach. Not many of our elders get enough exercise. It is has even been stated that it is good to increase exercise because it can aid in increasing neutrons in the brain, leading to better clarity, and thus aiding to help to avoid the most dreaded disease Alzeimers. Keep up the good work. Love , Neva Dinwiddie Teresa,

Parents can be so frustrating!It was very supportive to read about your conversation with your Dad and the honesty of your responses to him. My Mom just had a fall and will get the other hip done sometime next year. My first reaction was, "Oh no, not more time off from work!" But as you said, I took a deep breath, knew that I wanted to be there to take care of her, and said instead that I would come when ever she needed me. I am getting better at having faith that it will all work out. I want so much to do what I can for her to make her life easier. Love, Marie Elena Dear Teresa,

We all have spoken too fast to our elder ones. I like that papa didn't rush you off to grad school once you reminded him of your steady presence. He's a cagey guy! Miss seeing you but i will keep in touch with this blog. Lots of love and admiration. Lynn S very human piece. We all have spoken too fast to our elder ones.

It is so meaningful to me right now with all I've been going through with my elderly parents. I have had many regrets over things I wish I hand't said during the time I've been caring for them. Your beautiful, and insightful blog is a gift. I'll think of you each and every time I'm with them - well.....I think of you all the time anyway! I just haven't had much extra time, as I'm sure you can understand. with love, Pat Dearest Teresa,
