I have wanted to join this forum for awhile.
Life has been crazy lately. My Father is 88 and Mom is 87 and doing fairly well for their age, however they need help now and then. On the other hand my Wife's Father has dementia and we have been helping out on a regular basis. He just got 24 hour help coming in just prior to Christmas.
I love watches; Seiko and Citizen are my favorites. Divers are also a favorite. Most of you know from the other forums I love to surf.
Thanks for the invite to join and have fun.
Mark

Welcome Mark....I have an 87 year old Mother with similar issues.
Sit a spell and use this place as a pleasant diversion from the ever present situations we all have to deal with daily.

Hi Mark and .gifaboard! I know exactly what you are going through with your parents. My mother had all her marbles but broke a hip and passed away from pneumonia at the ripe old age of 91. My father, sadly, had Alzheimer's disease for the last 10 years of his life but fortunately he was well taken care of in a full care facility. He almost made it to 100 but was happy for most of the last couple of years. I guess it's something many of us will have to deal with and then be part of as we reach old age. This place is about having fun. We enjoy watches and also share our love of food, drink and sports. I know you'll enjoy it here chinathumbsup.gif

B-| to the forum. Of course, take care of family matters first. Jump in on the watch side when you can.
