The switch
I guess that it happens to everyone at some point in their life where the switch happens. When the children begin to take care of their parents, who had in the past been the caregivers. With my Dad being ill, I have know learned what it feels like to feel like the parent. Such worry and fear, but most of all, you would like to have the power to make everything all better. It is one of life's cruel jokes.

I am sorry to hear about your dad's illness. I went through something similar with my mom. She had a malfunctioning heart valve that couldn't be operated on due to diabetes, obesity, and some other health problems. I watched her become weaker and weaker, she needed oxygen at home, et cetera. It was not an easy time. My heart goes out to you. -Bruce
