Germany

Dad decided that since there was no particular progress with his treatment he would take a trip to Germany and visit me, and use his frequent flyer points which would otherwise expire at the end of the year.
So far Dad's been here a week and a half, and its good to see he's still as stubborn as always. What I find unfortunate is the defeatist attitude he has. Rarely is there a positive word. Perhaps I just try to think too positive, or don't understand how things work.
In any case I do think it is doing Dad a world of good, particularly mentally, to be out and about doing something (rather than sitting at home moping about). I'm hoping that by the time he's back home, he'll be better able to go about his daily life.
Here's hoping!
