Miracles do Happen!

After 9 months of battles with my father, my family and I were able to convince (trick really) my dad into a senior facility with my mom.  And, looks like this dumb feud with my sister and brother has come to an end!

Unfortunately, second night involved the police and trip to the ER (what a waste), but he's finally back on Divaproex and is slowly adjusting.  My family and I are keeping our distance to allow them to adjust and cut the dependent cord.

We all realize this isn't the end, but for gosh sakes it's a fantastic start and thank God for his intervention.  He truly does work in mysterious ways.
