Carmina's dad was craving for Vietnamese and wanted to bring his family have a meal. We are in the area of Brentwood, my dad remembered he used to dine in at CreAsian Wok 'n Roll . Upon entering there we're a lot of customers and the person asked how many we are seated at the table. The server handed us a menu asked us what we would like to drink. They brought out pitcher of iced water with glasses for us to pour our own water. My dad ordered a grilled lemongrass chicken combo with egg, shrimp, and an egg roll . Family member ordered basil leaf with chicken and garlic rice . Another family member had ordered a large Creation Special soup to share with everyone. Carmina wanted the banh mi sandwiches but unfortunately it wasn't available had to pick something else to eat. I decided to try the string beans with shrimp and included is the plain white rice.

You never knew when you spend less time with someone. You just realize when you decide to have dinner with your in-law's. You see something different from them. My father in-law is not capable of seeing anything in front of him. He questions what food has been cook. Can no longer identify the food in front of him.
You notice his shirt that he is wearing is reverse which the tag from the back is now in the front. He doesn't seem to notice any difference.
He starts to walk slower at his pace.
He can't hear well even if you are talking louder than you should.
He laughs when you say something.
You realized something is changing and no matter what you can't feel sorry for them aging this way.
How do you cope with it someone living in your home being this way?
I see my sister in-law coming to the house to check on him on a daily basis.
They are so worried and concern of their father who has changed so much in less than a time.
Mother in-law patiently serves her husband just like your taking care of a kid. She maybe hurting inside seeing her husband being this way. But, not showing her emotional feeling.
As we aged there are a lot of things our body and mind cannot cope when we are taking too many medication in our system.
The hard part when they still are in denial not realizing they are turning to be a different person.
I realized this point when someone close to you is changing you need to change for them. You need to be there for them even if they don't appreciate the things you do for them.
Only God knows you work so hard to make that person safe and you worry for them as they are changing every time.
