Doing what's required.

missdianeI called Dad's cell phone several times yesterday and didn't get an answer. It didn't instantly go to voicemail so it was on. No clue why. I felt guilty for not calling the facility to check and then told myself NOT to feel guilty since he's in a safe enough space. But after more than a decade of being the only kid checking on her parents on a daily basis to make sure that they're ok, it's become ingrained. I was finally able to talk to Dad for a few minutes this morning and he said that the day before he did do PT and he had pancakes for breakfast today which he enjoyed.
There's no point in countering Sis's bullshit about "not getting help" and "needing a vacation" since she's always been selfish and bullying with small glimmers of being reasonable now and then. I don't try to talk to the brother since he's the one that stopped responding to me ages ago and he's a douchebag. Both of them married people as self-centered as they are.
I don't know how it's going to go with Dad and at this point, I'm going to just go through the motions and happy face for him for as long as I'm able. When he's gone and the initial dust settles, I don't see myself having anything to do with my siblings. But I won't take the blame or feel guilty for it. Because I've done enough.
I did find something interesting when checking into ancestry and seeing some of those little leaves. There was a newspaper article about Dad from 1950. I texted this clip to my sister saying that I thought she'd find it interesting and left it at that.
Sounds like Dad certainly didn't need BIL's bible study. He had plenty enough of it. I will have to ask if he was one of the ones that was baptized after his four years of study.
