Dad is 76 and he’s barely there, mom is late 60s and struggling to take care of him and has health issues of her own. It is tough.

my Dad is 82 and has late stage Dementia, Congestive heart failure - and as of yesterday, either Pancreatitis or Pancreatic Cancer - tests done today should give us a good idea. his heart only works at 55% efficiency and has a hard time with mobility.
watching him get older and constantly fight is both sad, but an inspiration - cause he sure as shite is not giving up.
update - it is confirmed to be Cancer - his health issues likely make it impossible to treat it. gotta have a hard discussion tonight with him. this will be the toughest thing i have ever had to do
