Weight lifted

Yesterday I was in somber mood as I approached the troubling task of advising my father regarding his future care.
I am relieved to report that much to my surprise he acquiesced, with little or no protest. I think he knew what was coming and had himself realised that he was unable to keep the status quo.
I was firm and direct, I find that that is the best way when situations have to be addressed. 
Though inevitably  there will be hiccups and refusals along the way, I feel as though a weight has been lifted. 
I want to make it clear that this is not about me but I would be disingenuous were I not to be honest about my feelings!
I hope that we will, in a short time, find him a comfortable billet, where he can get the care he needs and the stimulation of others and he is no longer spending so much time alone!
