My mom and dad live about 700 meters from my house. Dad is 86 and is starting to look pretty frail and is moving much slower. It is hard sometime to know if it is his hearing problems or if he is kind of out of it but communication can be difficult. For an old rig weldor, he has outlived most of his peers. Mom is two years younger and very with it. She too has shown signs of slowing down physically, but is a very sharp old gal.

On Monday night I was a little annoyed that their flight was delayed 3 hours and I was up at the airport at midnight to pick them up. Then I remembered how lucky I am to have the privilege to be able to do that simple thing for them and how I probably won't be so privileged for very much longer.

I have a question for the brain trust.
1. How did or how do you arrange for inhome care for your parents with out insulting them?
2. How did you or how do you bring up the topic with your siblings to pay for inhome care?
