I have been told today that dad wants to stop working. I agree he needs to as he is so tired all the time but I know what it means. It's the start of the end.
There is no going back.
He will loose his business that he has built and me and my husband will be the only ones bringing in an income. So stressful is an understatement. I just don't know what we will do. I wish so much that he wasn't suffering- but he is.
Dad isn't the sort of person to stop working. He would work till he physically can't so it anymore. Knowing that he is now thinking about it is so hard to accept. what will he have to keep him going if there is no work?
I feel like he is going to end up going sooner rather then later and I hate that thought.
