Chula Vista

Sitting in the wheelchair looking up is my 84 year old dementia addled dad who suffered a stroke during a heart operation last November. The woman in the window looking down is my 85 year old mom. They divorced when I was two and pretty much hated each other for most of my life. Once the grand kids came things started getting better. She lives in an assisted care place which just happens to be next to the nursing home he's at.

My sister back east sent me this yesterday. *sniff*
