So we're on this road trip, father son bonding trip and I noticed a lot of interesting behaviors he has. I know he's been through a lot with my mother being sick and everything but but some of his behavior patterns have been his MO since my earliest remembering. Granted I'm not perfect but I try to be a quieter human. He flew planes all his life so he can't hear and won't get hearing aids no matter what and constantly coughs. I believe it's COPD but the doc ain't bitting on the diagnosis. We still have another 6 days together and I'm trying mentally to not have a meltdown and start screaming at him. We're sharing a room which is tough. I like it quiet but he likes to watch brian kiljoo on foxjoo all day and uses a sleep noise on his phone that can be heard down the hall. I wear earplugs but good grief. Anyone have any ideas on traveling with your older father?

Anyone have any ideas on traveling with your older father?

Just remember that no one lives forever.

True. He's been dying since 40. Always something tragic happening. I'm trying.

Keep it up - just being there sometimes is all that is needed.
