It is 6:30 am. I am walking upstairs to wake up my Dad.
I usually wake him up before I take my kids to school.
I say “Good morning Dad, how are you doing this lovely morning”
He says, “Today is Sunday, right?” I say, “No, it’s Monday”
I ask, “Do you have a way to note down the things you forget”
He says,” No, I don’t”.
“Ok. I know you are 84 years old, but we all need a system to help us remember things.
How about a notepad and pencil to help?
You can keep it on your bedside”.
He says, “I’ll think about it. I will tell you later if I need a pen and paper to help me remember”
I am still waiting …
