Some other good news. Now that my mom has passed I have responsibility for my dad with dementia. He was in a memory care facility up in Foster City which can be a nightmare to get to depending on the time of day from San Jose. We moved him to a place 10 minutes from my house and it has a secure parking garage. So now I have one more place I can feel safe driving the Trans Am to, and I can take my dad for a ride in the car more often.
Luckily my dad still has his long term memory and recognizes us still. He’s like a big kid - he loves model cars, planes and trains. He is also very into cars like my mom and his last car before he stopped driving was a 2002 Corvette Convertible. He loves Corvettes and worked at a Corvette parts store after he retired from his main gig.
That's so cool your dad is close. My mom had dementia and was a few hours away so I didn't get to see her often, glad his long term memory is still there.
