I should be sleeping

Operative word there is should! Can't sleep, too much on my mind.  Long story short, my Father's brother died and my dad is the last family member , all his siblings, his parents and his wife are gone. Not to mention all his friends. Guess it's not going to be that short....well my dad is 90, he is not doing as well as he was even a month ago. My neighbor called tonight to say my dad fell and hurt his hand. Finger was banged up. He's fallen before apparently. He won't tell me anything so my neighbor keeps me informed. Well neighbor clean him up, took care of his hand. Other night had to help him shave. I'm his daughter, I should be doing this. I'm 5 states away, sucks!!! At least he realizes he will need to live with us. I just hope he stays around for it to happen.  I'm not as sad at the thought of his time coming to an end. He's had a good life, done lots if great things. I just don't want him to be in pain or alone. It worse in pain and alone. When his time comes, may it be a long time coming but when it does. I must be there with him .he was always there for me and now it's time for me to be there for him. So instead of sleeping, I'm thinking about selling houses, getting bigger place, making sure he's happy.  I love him so much it breaks my heart to think he struggles with anything.  I hate not being there.
