when you don't understand why those little things go wrong. But, when I put myself in his shoes, I wouldn't want to have someone doing Everything for me. Even though it might help. Just asking for help isn't really what he wants, he wants to do it himself. So, now, when I start to get frustrated, I just say ok and go ahead and do what needs to be done. I am sensitive to help him when he needs it. I am trying, sometimes I get frustrated. But, it helps to understand that each day is a gift and every trial is a learning experience with benefits. Cause, in the end, you have now been there and done that. I also know that someday, I will need someone to help me. What we sow, we reap. So, I am trying to understand and show grace.
I mentioned to Dad that when he is using dial-up to get on the information highway everyone else is driving 200 mph and he's trying to merge using a tricycle.

Like today, for the 100th time my Dad had said he wanted to throw his computer out, and like right on cue I said for my 100th time that his problem is because he is on dial-up and not on high speed internet. Next time he says he want to throw his computer out, I will ask if he wants me to open the front door :P
