It’s tough to see the people you love become more and more dependent on someone. My Pop was a heavy equipment mechanic for over 40 years for Mass Electric, and it really took a toll on his body. On his back in all kinds of weather, he was as tough as they come. He’s now 78, and has had 2 neck, and 5 back surgeries. Walks like he’s drunk, cause his legs are so weak. Doesn’t bitch, goes to church everyday with Mom, and to the coffee shop to see friends, and then to his rocking chair to read the paper till his chin hits his chest for a bit. He’s learned to live with his limitations, and is fairly content. Thank God Mom is superwoman that has enough energy for them both.
