I live with my Father. He has Mutiple Sclerosis. I care for him, simply because he spent his life caring for me. Family is so important to me. I live a simple life, money and things are a distant second to being happy. Of course, I have desires...but I would choose to discard these material things for something tangable and real. I may not believe in God! But I do believe in Love! It is something that I’ve experienced many times and I know it is real. I’d like to follow my heart again, it’s been awhile.

You're a good man, taking care of Dad like that. Good on you, brother. And you're right, all that other, material stuff, etc., doesn't matter compared to family.

Can't argue with that. Just moved in with my son until I find the Right Place in Vegas... Serious Heat going on. Your Dad did a Good Job Raising You. All fathers of the world are thanking you right now.A couple years ago I remember my son telling me..."You don't know what you dying will do to me?" Last time I cried.

After my mom passed away my dad moved in with me. And I have my 3 yr. Old grand daughter as well. Crazy, complicated but so much love! You will never regret taking care of your dad!

It sounds like you have your priorities straight and know the recipe for a truly fulfilling life. We can lose all your money, but you always get to keep the love you feel.

The happiest moments in my life have not come from material possessions, but from deep human connection.

And how can I end without acknowledging that adorable little munchkin in the photo!

I know the feeling. My Mother can hardly get around. Lots of times I stay here (even tho I own my own house). It could be something as simple as getting something from the top shelf, or changing a light bulb. Maybe go to the grocery store to get something. One thing that does make me mad is she offers me money to do every little thing! I insist I don't want money, but she gets mad when I don't, and I finally accept because her BP is high, and gets mad. Don't tell her, but most ends up back in her purse when she isn't looking...

oh what a beautiful human you are. I hope you find someone with a heart as big as your own.
