^ Old beer! That's funny. I found an ancient unopened Coors in a creek this spring and joked with the guys I was kayaking with that we should drink it! Perfectly chilled. (We chickened out.)
wdb: sorry to hear about your folks passing.
We (siblings) have made it so our parents could stay in their home longer than they could have otherwise. Fortunately, there are 4 of us kids: 3 nearby and 1 sort of. 2 are sort of retired, another one getting close. So lots of hands making light work, but it can still be pretty stressful at times when things go off the rails.
Looks like my dad won't be driving for the foreseeable future (if ever again). My mom gave it up a while back due to declining sight, so I've become the default support there. (I was already doing 95% of their errands during the pandemic anyway.)
I don't mind. They put in endless time, energy & love bringing up us kids.
