I saw the Love Bug again recently. We wanted Tara to see it before the new one came out, and then we never did see the new one. I missed the animated sequence - must have got up for something - funny, I thought I saw it all the way through...
Anyway, I spent the afternoon visiting my folks. I told my dad that I saw Chuck Norris - http://brotherhoodofdoom.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=66 - and he totally understood. He brightened up at the mention of it, even before I said Walker. My dad has become a huge fan of that show. I think his comprehension is rather good now. His output is all messed up, but he understands most simple conversations it seems. I think he tends to shun conversation because he knows he can't respond well. Also my mom has the odd habit of talking about him when he's in earshot and talking to him with an overly clear tone, instead of just conversationally. It's got to be so hard for her - for anyone - to be a caretaker.
One of my mom's best friends is a caretaker for her husband that has gone blind. She was just hospitalized, possibly for cancer. My mom, along with some other friends, have been driving the husband to and fro from the hospital. Their daughter happened to have this week off and could help, but who knows what will happen when she has to go back to work next week...
