This line in a note from my cousin's wife made me burst into tears, "I'm sorry that when he talks to you he wants so much more from you than just your love. "

I feel the same way with my father-- only the difference is that he is either at half-way houses, shelters, or treatment centers-- it is hard to keep track of him but he always wanted to make sure that his stuff is okay and that whatever expenses I spent on storing them, he would repay.
I kept telling him to not worry about his stuff-- because I know those stuff are only things he possess to remind that he is a human being, a person with a past, hopefully a happy one, and he can move on with what he has in his possession.
