The End of an Era
Today I took my last swim in Dad's swimming pool. It is the end of an era for me and my family. Tomorrow we pack the pod with his things and we leave to drive back to Wisconsin. That's why I'm here, to chauffeur him back to the Badger State.
Last swim with Dad
My father is now 86, mom passed 4 years ago, and he cannot keep up the house himself. He needs help and to be near to family. So he recently decided to move to a independent living place in Wisconsin. Similar to assisted living.
We have had many good times here
I will miss this house and the visits we shared here.
Dad recently had the house painted, I like it.
What do you think of the color?

It's become somewhat of a second home for me as I've made 50+ visits.
Coming down to sunny Florida for 25 years has been awesome.
And the memories we will take with us are priceless!
But, it's not the end for Dad, instead it's another chapter beginning. :-D
Like the hat and shades, same with my dad he is on hes own and cant keep up with the house maintenance its been a struggle for him. Its heart-breaking to say goodbye to such a house I bet @paradise-found
Yes, indeed it is. But the memories are priceless!!
Thank you my friend!!

I'm sure it's hard for him to pack up and move like that. I'm sure that's going to happen with me and my family at some point. Good luck to you both!
