Mixed Emotions

As my summer time in St. Louis is coming to an end, I am flooded with mixed emotions. Of course I am happy to be going home to my husband (and cat). I'm just anxious and nervous about leaving my dad. I know that he will be in good hands. It is just difficult to think about not seeing him everyday. It makes it even harder to leave when I have to hear him say, "What am I going to do without you?" He is worried that he wont be able to go to church, music programs, and outings without me being there to take him. I told him that there are people who would take him if he lets them know what he wants to do. I hope that they remember to check on him and encourage him to attend activities. I think that has helped make a huge difference in his state of mind. Even though my time here has been an emotional roller coaster, I am thankful that I was able to be here and spend this time with him.
