Off to California

Today Dad looked a little more relaxed but he was consumed with the idea that he was getting on the plane soon. He wanted his jacket because the plane might be cold and he was getting ready to go through security. He kept asking me if his bags were packed and did I attach the yarn so he could identify his bag at baggage claim.

We found out that he often roams the halls in his wheelchair when we’re not there. He’s so determined to keep moving and finish his chores. His mind just won’t slow down and let him relax.

We’re still wrapping up the administrative tasks for Mom and Dad. The financials are in order and in great hands. Their broker/money manager is outstanding and really cares about my parents. Their realtor is also outstanding and calls or visits every day. My parents have surrounded themselves with great people. Tomorrow we meet with an attorney to review their will. We’ve found numerous copies of wills, some complete and some incomplete. We’re taking everything to him so he can sort it out and tie up any loose ends.

There’s so much clutter around the house and paperwork everywhere. My mother was always meticulous and very organized. Now she can’t find anything and she has important papers scattered throughout the house. She’s losing bills and forgetting to pay them. I’m setting up automatic bill payment for all of her bills and cancelling all subscriptions and services that she doesn’t need. I cancelled Netflix but she lost 2 of the 3 DVD’s. We can’t find them anywhere!
