Morning AFN family..

I've been somewhat absent with my posts, replies, and presence.
Several months ago I mentioned that some changes were in the near future. That has somewhat came faster than anyone wanted.
My father had been diagnosed with Parkinsons and Diabetes early in 2017. The V.A doctor stated that his Parkinsons was more that likely was from his exposure to Agent Orange and malathion during his tours in Vietnam. Both the parkinsons and diabetes have been manageable until recently. His health along with mental state have been degrading. I have been flying home every two weeks to help my mother with paper work , arrangements and talking to V.A doctor. Its taking a toll on my father and mother. We all know that his time is limited , and my mother is at a complete loss on how to handle things, she is not going to fair well when my father leaves this Earth.
I'm doing my best to take some of the burden off my mothers shoulders, but it has been taxing on my side being so far away.
Me and my wife have decided to move back to my home town to help my parents. Although , the move will not be for several months due to making arrangements for the move, the plants I have running for the battles at this time will be my last harvest until getting set up after our move.
I'm in a emotional slump. I have no drive to do anything..my head is just on a constant tumbling wheel thinking about my dad and mom . Seeing him in the condition he is in, pains me in ways that I wish not to feel. In my eyes he was a confident , take no shit, no candy coating , straight forward, caring person. A force to be reckoned if you ever crossed him or lied to him. He was the epitome of a Marine..and to me ..he still is. I guess thats whats making it hard for me. To see the person who I thought was basically a God in my eyes, who could do anything and everything and just to see him now in his condition, pains me.

I will be around...a quick lurk here and there...some updates etc...Not leaving , just got a full plate.
Thanks

Stay strong bro! Sounds like times are tough but you have it handled. Also wanted to say that it sounds like you're being an awesome son! Being there to help your mom will mean the world to her. I've been in your shoes, it will get better with time. Handling it like you are shows how much character and grit you have.
