There was an elderly woman using one of those walkers with four wheels, it had a little seat on it for when the person got tired and needed to rest a minute. The interesting thing was that the person using it could sit and be "towed" along. The lady I saw with it was visiting the Viet Nam Memorial wall while I was, and one of her daughters was pulling her along. We visited for a few minutes. Her son's name was on that wall. As for your Dad being 93, so what? When your Dad is ready to go he'll do what your Mother did, stop eating. I'd wager there was pain she didn't tell you about or some other reason she did not want to continue. So, she went home. If we're lucky enough, that's what we will do when our time comes.
