A Story That Might Feel Familiar

"When my brother and I visited Dad last spring, everything looked fine at first. The lawn was mowed. The TV was playing his favorite Westerns. But then we opened the fridge.There were three cartons of expired milk. Leftovers from who-knows-when. And a full drawer of rotting vegetables we knew he didn’t buy because he hadn’t driven to the store in weeks. We checked the bathroom next. The shower looked untouched. The same towel from our last visit was still hanging.

He hadn’t said a word about struggling. In his mind, he was “just fine.” But we knew: something had shifted.

He wasn’t in crisis. But he was slowly slipping behind. And we were slowly losing peace of mind.That weekend, we introduced the idea of home care just a few hours a week, we said. Someone to help tidy up, run errands, check his medications. To our surprise, he agreed. “As long as I don’t have to move,” he said.

He didn’t. And today, he still doesn’t. That small shift—bringing in just a little help—made all the difference. He’s still at home. Still calling the shots. But now, he’s safer. And so are we."
