Joyce Farmer is the author/artist who shows how she gradually takes on the role of primary caregiver for her aging father and stepmother at their home in southern California. All the crazy mix of frustration, humor, anger, love and sacrifice that go into seeing her parents through their final days rings very true. This should be required reading for anyone who needs to know what to expect about "aging in place" - for their parents or themselves!
It's a great story that ends with a sad smile.
