One of the recent memory I have is visiting him Palm Gardens Assistant Living. I asked the front desk if it was OK to take him out to lunch. They were very supportive of the idea and had me sign him out. He prefers going to the car with his wheel chair but propelled himself with the use of his feet. He straddled thee wheel chair and pushed himself to the car. They did not have Vietnamese food at the nursing home so we ventured out to Pho in Davis. The campus was bustling with students and there were no parking in front of the restaurant. We drove around the block and found a spot a couple blocks away. The muddy grass on the sidewalk prevented the wheel chair to be placed next to his car door so the only solution is for me to carry him over to the wheel chair. As I lifted dad, I was shocked at how light and frail he was. He also let out a yell since he was frightened with being lifted off the ground. His loud yelp also freaked me a little but I gently put him in the wheel chair and he seemed to enjoyed being pushed thru the UCD fraternities and store fronts. <div><br /></div><div>We then ordered Pho and spring rolls. Dad really enjoyed the familiar food that seem familiar yet not available. Dad is not one for verbose conversations so we just sat together and enjoyed the company and good food. There were other students and even families where parents were visiting the school. I did not know how much longer dad would be able to venture out like this so I treasured the few moments of silence we had together.
