Here's my post from that, just a few days before he passed.

He was remarkably clear for the first 15 mins of my visit, responding quickly and enthusiastically to my questions and comments. Then he slowly regressed to his normal asphasic state.
But still, it was an uncommonly good visit as he was more present than usual. The sun was warm and the bunnies were stretched out in their hutch. Visiting the nursing home is so draining. My weekly ritual.
It was pretty weird and it's really my final memory of my dad. In retrospect now, 6 years later, it was the last blessing and I recall it with deep fondness.
So was there a service or anything for your mom, KB? This must have been so difficult during the pandemic.
