Nevada, Iowa | OMG! With precise detail, you have described someone very near and dear - ME!
I work with an older gentleman and he seems to cope better than I do. I also hire some college students part time and they run circles around me, physically and mentally. I can't hear on the cell phone unless I shut everything off. It takes me ten minutes to change the yield monitor from one field to another. Some days I am thinking that I should have taken the short bus when I was in school.
I can't offer any good advice. My Dad isn't able to do much any longer but will still help out when he can. Cherish each day that they can do what they love to do and each day you have together. Patience can be tested and machinery can be repaired, memories will last a lifetime.
BTW- Dad liked checklists and so do I. Also, I don't think I will want to work with NH3 when I am 64 but that's a personal thing. | |
