Nurse, how does your dad like living in the desert after spending his whole life surrounded by green?

My dad struggles the most with this change. My mom and brother and sister all seem to really enjoy it here. I know they enjoy having me closer and I try to do stuff with them often. My dad has always suffered with depression issues and the whole flood thing just really broke him. He's 68 and very set in his ways and I don't know if PHX will ever feel like home to him. He is the sort of person that can never feel content no matter what...it's like he's content when he has something to worry over. It's a constant stressor for me cause I'm trying so hard to do all I can to help them out here.

My sister has to work like every weekend so one weekend when she can get a day off I'm gonna take them up to northern AZ to spend the day in the mountains away from the heat and desert.
