Subject she is 10 00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:34,360 Speaker 1: more than his nurse. Dear Stephen Shirley. My husband and 11 00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:37,519 Speaker 1: I have been together for twenty seven years total and 12 00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:41,440 Speaker 1: we have two grown children that live elsewhere. Four months ago, 13 00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:44,640 Speaker 1: my father in law, who we call Pop Pop, started 14 00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:48,120 Speaker 1: showing signs of short term memory laws, so we decided 15 00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:49,960 Speaker 1: that he would stay with us during the week and 16 00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:52,800 Speaker 1: go home on weekends. He is married to a younger 17 00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:56,000 Speaker 1: woman that we don't trust him with, so since I 18 00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:58,720 Speaker 1: work from home, I have been watching Pop Pop during 19 00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:01,760 Speaker 1: the day and my husband watches out for him at night. 20 00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:05,520 Speaker 1: His wife, Nina, is almost twenty years younger than him, 21 00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:08,360 Speaker 1: and she is acting like we are responsible for Pop 22 00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:11,560 Speaker 1: Pop and he has not been back and he has 23 00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:13,960 Speaker 1: not been back home and over a month we fixed 24 00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:16,400 Speaker 1: up the basement for him so he can have space 25 00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:21,080 Speaker 1: and be somewhat independent. A cute young home healthcare nurse 26 00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:24,240 Speaker 1: comes by twice a week to check up on Pop 27 00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:29,640 Speaker 1: Pop and he calls her his Angel. My husband takes 28 00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:32,440 Speaker 1: him to the ATM every week so he'll have cash 29 00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:34,840 Speaker 1: for her. We told him that he doesn't have to 30 00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:39,240 Speaker 1: pay her or tip her, but he loves giving her money. Yesterday, 31 00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:42,480 Speaker 1: the nurse was in the basement and I heard them giggling. 32 00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:45,880 Speaker 1: Then the TV was turned up really loud. Then I 33 00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:48,560 Speaker 1: heard a lot of water running. Later that night, I 34 00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:51,360 Speaker 1: asked Pop Pop what he and his angel did earlier, 35 00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:54,480 Speaker 1: and he smiled, would let me know his short term 36 00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:58,280 Speaker 1: memory isn't that bad. I asked if she touched him, 37 00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:00,840 Speaker 1: and he said that she rubbed a war towel over 38 00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:04,320 Speaker 1: his body to clean him off, and he really enjoyed it. 39 00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:07,080 Speaker 1: He didn't need his body to clean He didn't need 40 00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:11,120 Speaker 1: his body to clean him off. I mean, I mean 41 00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,600 Speaker 1: he didn't need to be clean because he bathes daily. 42 00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:16,600 Speaker 1: So I told my husband that some funny business is 43 00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:19,040 Speaker 1: going on with Pop Pop and Angel. He told me 44 00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:22,160 Speaker 1: that pop pop is grown. I don't like this at all. 45 00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:26,480 Speaker 1: Is pop pop getting more than what's prescribed? What if 46 00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:31,600 Speaker 1: he's paying Angel for sex? I don't know if that's 47 00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:35,000 Speaker 1: going on. I just know that your husband is right. 48 00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:39,280 Speaker 1: Pop pop is grown. The only problem, it seems is 49 00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:42,040 Speaker 1: that he no longer has or never had short term 50 00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:45,400 Speaker 1: memory loss, because it seems to be clearing up now. 51 00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:49,840 Speaker 1: He remembers Angel very well. He remembers what to do 52 00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:53,919 Speaker 1: with her, He remembers an looks forward to paying her 53 00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:56,800 Speaker 1: every time she visits. He remembers to go to the 54 00:02:56,840 --> 00:03:00,400 Speaker 1: ATM to get the money. The only person he doesn't 55 00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:03,040 Speaker 1: like act like he cares about now is his much 56 00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:06,519 Speaker 1: younger wife, and she doesn't act like she cares about him. 57 00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:10,280 Speaker 1: The feeling is mutual because she left him over there 58 00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:13,200 Speaker 1: with you and his son, and I gotta say that 59 00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:15,639 Speaker 1: was very thoughtful and kind of you two to look 60 00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:18,800 Speaker 1: after his dad like this. So since he looks like 61 00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:22,600 Speaker 1: he's doing better, you should get him checked out by 62 00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:25,520 Speaker 1: a doctor. Perhaps he might be ready to go back home, 63 00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:27,800 Speaker 1: or he might be ready to, you know, be a 64 00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:30,760 Speaker 1: single man or something get with Angel. You never know. 65 00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:34,040 Speaker 1: You need to check him out because things have changed. 66 00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:37,240 Speaker 1: Things have changed since you first thought he had short 67 00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:40,560 Speaker 1: term memory loss. And you know, if that is the case, 68 00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:42,360 Speaker 1: he can deal with his wife face to face and 69 00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:46,000 Speaker 1: figure out if they still have a marriage. Steve, there 70 00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:51,960 Speaker 1: ain't nothing role in this letter. This is a letter 71 00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:57,840 Speaker 1: about joy, This is a letter about grace, This is 72 00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:02,840 Speaker 1: a letter about Yes, love it. It's just so many 73 00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:05,720 Speaker 1: good things in this letter. Let me walk you through 74 00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:10,040 Speaker 1: the upside, folks, of what's happening in pop Pop's life now? 75 00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:15,560 Speaker 1: Is she more than his nurse? Number one? That ain't 76 00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:25,359 Speaker 1: your damn biss? And number two? I hope she let's go. 77 00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:28,039 Speaker 1: My husband and I've been together twenty seven years and 78 00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:31,599 Speaker 1: we got two grown children live somewhere else. Four months ago, 79 00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:34,240 Speaker 1: my father in law, we called pop Pop, started showing 80 00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:37,720 Speaker 1: signs of short term memory laws. That's a sign of 81 00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:41,840 Speaker 1: either Alzheimer's or dementia, one of the two. I'm not sure. 82 00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:45,200 Speaker 1: I'm not qualified. So we decided that he would stay 83 00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:50,200 Speaker 1: with us during the week and go home on weekends. Well, 84 00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:53,200 Speaker 1: he's married to a younger woman and we don't trust 85 00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:59,240 Speaker 1: him with so since I worked from home, I've been 86 00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:02,880 Speaker 1: watching pop Pop doing the day, and my husband watch 87 00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:05,920 Speaker 1: out for him tonight. He got a wife named Nina 88 00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:08,919 Speaker 1: that's twenty years younger than head, and she is acting 89 00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:12,320 Speaker 1: like we're responsible for Pop Papa. Well you are. You 90 00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:15,000 Speaker 1: asked him to move into your house during the week 91 00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:18,039 Speaker 1: and go home on the weekend. She ain't acting like 92 00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:22,080 Speaker 1: you're responsible. You took on that responsibility and the appmo 93 00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:25,880 Speaker 1: thing to do, because obviously Pop pop has served his 94 00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:29,359 Speaker 1: family well and he got some medical challenges now and 95 00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:32,479 Speaker 1: y'all stepping up to the plate, thank you, And he 96 00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:34,840 Speaker 1: ain't been back home and over more, Pop Papa ain't 97 00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:38,359 Speaker 1: going back over there.
