Subject: RE: How do you tell your dad it's time to stop driving tractor


SE Nebraska, Near Misery and Cans Ass!

JR B - 9/4/2023 18:41 He's going to be 71 this November. He has had several major health scares and is fighting cancer now. I don't want to demoralize him but he isn't safe. We were loading round bales onto the wrapper today and he almost rolled the tractor. Every bale he picked up he mashed it around till the net started to tear. I've been dreading this conversation. Mom died at 65 and he went downhill fast. If I don't have him outside doing something he gets annoying to my wife. He just sits at the table and stares off into the sun. He doesn't live with us but he does take all his meals with us. His good friends are dead and others moved away. I'm glad my dad is still here but this is hard.

You have a hard issue, I'll be 71 in Oct and being useful is the meaning of life. I work hard at doing what I can without causing problems. I don't know your Dad but I'd hope he'd be open to discussion as to what he can do to help. Will take a real diplomat.

I hope those I work with are honest with me.
