- Remember back when you made

that first big step into adulthood?

That first big job?

Whoa, I need to power wash their roof.

Anyway, this was it. The keys were ours.

The old man was finally retiring.

Angela and I had a full run of the place.

Now, don't get me wrong, he built a fine bed and breakfast,

but we were finally able to step into our own.

Now we were gonna run this place the way we wanted to.

Be our own boss.

Ah, look at that handsome specimen.

The master of his domain. The king of his castle.

Well, you know, as long as Angela agrees.

Anyway, this was the next big moment. It was here.

- This it. That's it.

- Ms. Wagner, how can I help you?

- The bathtub faucet, Mr. Harris.

The bathtub faucet is dripping.

- I Am so sorry.

I'll be up to check it out soon. Angela, where are you?

- I'm so sorry, I hate it.

I'm just, I don't think I'll be able to make it

to your recital.

I know hun. Grandma will try real hard

to make it to another one.

I promise. - They want the first 10 pages.

- Yeah, - In Four weeks.

- Okay. I love you too, sweetie. Bye now.

- And I get a $5,000 advance.

- What are you talking about? - The book deal. I got it.

- That's fantastic. I knew you would.

- Was that Olivia on the phone?

- Yeah, her recitals in two weeks.

I just don't see how I can get away.

- I think we should revisit the

idea of hiring a new manager.

- Where could I find... - If you're looking

for water, it's in the fridge door.

- Thanks. - I'm just not ready to admit

that she's not gonna take over.

- She couldn't be any clearer.

I mean, she's almost finished with graduate school.

- Yeah. And Dylan isn't moving his family back

here to take over.

- Would you even want him to? - True.

But with the new book, is it really the right time?

- That's why we should revisit the

idea of hiring a new manager.

If we hire someone soon, you can go to those recitals.

- OW! OW! - That's true.

I guess we could at least start scheduling interviews.

- Everything's finally coming together.

- Mr. Harris. My bathtub is still dripping.

I'm growing impatient.

- Join the club. - It's nice to see you

with a gleam in your eye again.

- It's nice to finally dream again.

- Mr. Harris?

- Oh, right. Sorry. Coming now.

- Sorry to interrupt, mister author,

but the door to the Japanese room is sticking.

It's just that Mr. Miller is checking in... 30 minutes.

- Debbie? - Dad?

- See, I told you they'd be here.

- Angela, Jason, may we come in?

- Thanks, Deb. - I figured it'd be easier from a friend.

We found him driving in circles at a Dollar General.

- Dad, what were you doing? - Nothing.

- He was disoriented and combative when we first arrived.

- Do we need to call our lawyer?

- No, but I can only release him into your custody.

- Our custody? What does that mean?

- That you take responsibility for him

until further evaluations can be made?

- Further evaluations? For what?

- His mental capacity.

- There is nothing wrong with my mental capacity.

This whole thing is ridiculous.

- A social worker will be coming by tomorrow

to start the process.

- I'm so sorry guys.

Thank you so much for your understanding.

And tonight is obviously on the house,

and of course, don't hesitate to

let us know if you... need anything.

- I am sure the social worker will see that

it's all just a silly, what do you call it?

Senior moment, and you can go home.

- Horses, huh? Why horses?

- Well, the grapevines of the eighties got dated.

- But horses, - It was easy to find a hobby lobby, okay.

Just a senior moment, right?

- I got my directions turned around.

I was just doing a U-turn to head back home.

- Okay? - You don't believe me?

- I do. I just wanna be sure you're okay.

- I'm fit as a fiddle.

- Of course. But you're welcome to stay.

We've missed your visits.

- Well, I won't be a burden to you. Put me to work.

- Oh, no. That's okay dad...

- This place getting to be too much for

that goofball of a husband of yours.

- This goofball just got a book deal.

- I kid, because I love.

- I drive two hours round trip to pack in overnight back,

because I love

- You found my frog pillow.

- I can't believe you still have this.

- Course I do.

What's so special about this pillow? Anyway.

- Remember dad, it's because I look like a frog as a baby.

So you got me the pillow as a joke. I had it in my room...

- Until you went away to college

- And you kept that as a reminder

of you're ugly baby. That's weird.

- Hey, coming from the guy who held onto Dylan

and Morgan's baby teeth like a serial killer.

- Touche. Well, dinner's in an hour.

You gotta run the dishes through the dishwasher

to properly sanitize them.

- Since when?

- Since whenever they passed the law that required us

to upgrade our dishwasher to a commercial one.

- I am perfectly capable of washing some dishes.

- I'm sure you are. But it's about the health codes.

- That's just dumb.

- You can load the dishwasher if you still want to help

- Granddad! PopPop?

Pops, is that really you?

- In the flesh?

- I didn't know you were coming for a visit.

- Me either. Cute kid. She yours.

- That's Harper. - Ah, she sure has grown.

Almost didn't recognize her.

Looks like you're filling that thing.

I've got a granddaughter to see.

- She's your great grand... - Surprised us too.

- Well, I'm glad he's here.

Thanks for letting Harper spend the night counselor said,

Matt and I need to date more.

- I hope your date goes well.

He was driving in circles in a Dollar General.

- I'm just as shocked as you are.

- I mean, has he really lost his mind?

- He forgot about the pillow today.

Why would he forget the pillow?

- He didn't even recognize Harper.

- I was just about to book a flight

to go see Olivia's recital

- And you we're finally free to just be Grandma.

- How are we supposed to care for him and run this place?

- We're gonna have to find him a place to live.

- That's a little hasty, I think

- That's the right thing to do.

You know? That's what we'll say to him.

We'll say, Robert, we have to find you a place to live.

You can't live here. We're running a business.

- He's my father. - That's besides the point.

- What if it was your dad?

- That is a totally different thing.

- I think we should just hear the social worker out.

- You want him to live here? - Maybe they'll see

that he's just confused.

- Okay. But we're gonna have to be prepared for the worst.

- Do you think Morgan and Matt will be okay?

- Keep praying. It seems like they're really trying.

- It's open. - There you are. Ready for bed, kiddo.

- Can me and PopPop finish our game first.

- She's on a winning streak. I can't let that stand.

- Sounds fun. Deal me in.

- No, no. Fine. But don't stay up late.

We all got a big day tomorrow.

- I'm so glad PopPop is staying with us. I miss his visits.

- We're glad he is staying too. But it's just for tonight.

He's going back home tomorrow.

- But for tonight, we have a game to finish

and I will not be defeated.

- We'll see about that. - We should deal with Samantha in.

- Yes, - Samantha.

Really like, really?

- He is just getting dressed. He should be down any minute.

- So what does the process look like?

- I'll start with some basic cognitive assessments.

- And you're looking for what exactly?

- I'm trying to determine if he's capable

of living on his own or if he needs... supervision.

- There he is. - Oh,

he's always been a bit eccentric.

- Hello, Mr. Davis. My name is Tiffany.

I'm here to ask you some questions.

- It's Robert. It's nice to meet you.

So I wanna find out if I've lost my marbles. Huh?

- Don't worry. He's lost those a long time ago.

- Is there somewhere where we can go and talk?

- Why don't you go out on the deck?

- Come on Stephanie. Let's get this over with.

- Oh, it's Tiffany. - That's what I said.

- Okay. That's all my questions for now.

Oh, thank you. We were actually just finishing up here.

Is Jason available?

- I am so sorry. I caught up in my writing.

I'm in the middle of writing a memoir.

- Fascinating.

So after my initial evaluation,

I have to do more testing.

- So your test says you need more tests?

- What does that mean? - I'll refer you

to some neurologists in the area.

- So I get to be poked and prodded and have my head shrunk.

No, thank you. I'm just fine.

- I hope that you are Robert,

but my evaluation just wasn't con...

- So What happens

while we're getting these useless tests?

- Well, based on the police officer's report,

until we can provide definite proof

that Mr. Davis isn't a threat to himself

or to others, he will need

to remain under your supervision.

- Okay. So I'll call today and make the appointments.

I'm sure they can fit you in this week.

- Oh, I doubt it. I wouldn't expect

to have these tests done for at least a month.

- A month. A month. - There's nothing sooner.

- A month too long to put up with me.

- It's not that. It's just so unexpected.

- We could look into other residential options

- Like a nursing home?

- You've gotta be kidding me. Let's just hear her out.

I'm not going to a nursing home.

At least here, I can be useful.

- What do you mean? - I used to run this place. Remember,

- We don't need the help. Dad.

- I'm not going to a nursing at home.

- Okay. We can make a month work, right, babe?

- Sure.

- Why don't you ask me if I can make it work?

- Okay. I'll rearrange the booking so

that we can keep your room open for you.

It's just a month. That's not so bad.

- Ready? - You've supported my dream all these years.

- We're doing the right thing.

- I'm just ready to go see all my grand babies.

- Not abandoning your parents' legacy.

- Right? We're just hiring a new manager.

- And we're not selling the place.

- Bonjour

- Hi.

Well, hello. You must be Louis.

- I believe it's pronounced - Louis.

- That is correct.

Ho, ho, ho.

- Now isn't it customary in your country to do their,

you know, double kiss in the cheek?

- No, not in a business deal.

- We're looking forward to working with you, Louie.

Our, our guests expect a high quality of service.

I'm confident you can provide that.

- The purpose of life is not to be happy.

The purpose of life, is to be honorable,

to be compassionate, to, to have it make a difference.

And that you lived and lived well.

- That was beautiful.

- Jimmy Buffett, right? - Emerson.

- Oh, yes. Emerson. Hmm.

- What's he working on? - Louis is polishing.

- No, I didn't ask him. Samantha asked him.

- Oh, pardon me, Samantha. He's polishing, see.

- Grandma, she's just a doll.

She can't really see.

- Don't say such hurtful things.

She didn't mean it.

- She doesn't think you're doing a good job.

- Don't you have a mother somewhere?

- Yeah, she's having her head shrunk.

- Harper. - That's what daddy said. Oh.

- So what do you think of our little palace?

- Hmm? Every everything seems to be in working order.

- Oh, well thank you.

- No, no. You misunderstand what I say.

I am wondering why you need a manager.

- I'm trying to step back from the day

to day running of the business.

- Yeah. Jason's gonna spend more time writing.

- Writing What?

- A Book.

- About what? - I haven't really

told anybody about it yet.

- Mm. So you think I would steal the idea?

- No. No. Of course not.

It's just, it's a memoir about my father.

He was killed in action during the Vietnam War.

- Spoiler alert. - Fascinating.

- That's not right.

- Hey, hey Louie. Louie, lemme read you something.

Tell me what you think. I would rather not

- Come on man. It would really help me out. Come on.

- Oh no. I must take this call.

Brassfield Inn. Louie speaking.

Quite impossible.

We are completely booked. Yes. I'm sorry.

Yes, of course. Let me check.

Yes. My apologies. We are completely booked. Yes.

- Hello?

- Hello. It's just me.

- Good. I'm glad it's not the Ghosts.

- Nah, I made peace with him years ago.

- So what you doing? - Just curious what was still up here?

- Pretty much how you left it. Anything you need?

No, I'm fine. You know, I rocked Angela

as a baby in this very rocking chair.

We bought this place when she was just a little girl.

She grew up running these halls.

- Oh, like Morgan and Dylan did.

- Yeah. Now Harper too. - Yep.

- Did I ever tell you about the time we had a

president stayed here?

It was in the winter and it snowed over a foot that year.

So I say, Mr. President,

I'd be happy to reset the billiard table for you.

- And which president was this?

- Terry Sanford.

- We've never had a President Sanford.

Look, I gotta get back to work.

- Thought you hired Jacque Custo to do your job.

- His name is Louis. But no,

I have to get back to my writing.

- Oh, by all means Shakespeare.

Don't let me keep you from your masterpiece.

- We seem to have a prankster, a ghost in this house.

- Who you gonna call?

- No one? I'm telling you.

- No, no. It's from Ghost... You know what? Nevermind.

That's all I can think of.

Just, you're only gonna be here a couple hours.

- I feel confident,

I can handle this place for a couple hours.

- He says he is not coming. - Well, I don't know

who he think's gonna sit with him all day.

- Do not look at me.

- Would you talk to him? - Sure. Why not?

- Hey, you gotta come with us.

Look, it's just church.

- Just leave some food

and water out on the counter for me like a dog.

- You know we're not gonna do that.

- I am 78 years old.

I haven't been to church since my mama made me.

I'm sure not going now.

Well, I don't know what to tell you.

You don't have a choice anymore.

- Napoleon's downstairs. Just have him babysit me.

- Come on, it just a few Sundays

until we get things figured out.

It's like six hours of your life.

- Which my age, is a considerable percentage of

what I have left.

Can I bribe you? Depends on what you're offering.

What'll it take?

- 50 bucks.

- Done.

Can I Venmo you

- For heaven's sake?

- I'll meet you downstairs.

- You notice something here

about real agape love when it comes from the inside.

When I'm plugged into Jesus love himself.

Do you notice what it is and what it's not?

See, this kind of love the Jesus other centered,

sacrificial, unconditional love.

- He's open. Touchdown!

Yeah.

- He roots for the other guys.

- Grammy? What's stool softener?

- Why don't you go see if you can find PopPop?

- How is counseling - A disaster?

- I'm so sorry. That seems like a lot of stuff.

Do we really need all that?

- Well, we need to be prepared, especially

with cognitive decline.

- He doesn't have cognitive decline.

- Okay. But he's still more likely to injure himself.

- We should let your dad do the shopping

- And he would've come back with the entire store.

- Robert, were you cooking something?

- Nope.

This is an abomination.

- Let me ask you a question.

If someone, let's say Angela, for example,

we're writing the story of your life.

- Just ask your question.

- I don't think I'm telling my dad's story well.

- Why would you say that?

- I didn't really know him. What are you doing?

- This is all wrong.

- Please don't do that.

- I was cooking something. Where'd it go?

Let me cook you something.

- What - Do you want? Why would you ask me that?

I'm not hungry.

- Come on, pop, pop. It's not so bad.

- Hey, thanks so much for coming.

You have a great day. You too. Thanks.

- Hey Harper. Glad to see you this morning.

And Robert, so glad you made it back.

All right then. You guys have a great day

and you enjoy your class.

All right, see ya. I'll

- See.

It's not so bad. Pop, pop.

- Hey, wanna join me? - Who's playing

- Patriots at the Chiefs?

- Who you rooting for? - Chiefs

- Six to go in the third.

- Thanks Mr. - Thank you, dad.

- I can still be useful.

- Of course. So what movie did you put in?

- Exorcist.

- You have to be prepared for the fact

that these tests might not go the way we hoped.

- I don't even wanna think about that.

- I know, but we need to be prepared.

- Let me guess. You got a stack

of things you want me to look over?

- Ooh, these are so expensive.

- Or a rundown dump.

- God'll lead us to the right one. Oh, look at this one.

Sunny Meadow's Assisted living. Let's check out the reviews.

- Okay? Don't get too excited there.

- Whoa. It's got some pretty decent reviews.

- We might be able to go by tomorrow.

- Yeah, let's go check it out. We're gonna bring him, right?

- I don't think that's a good idea.

So, you know one of us will have to stay here.

- I've got another idea.

- We shouldn't be too long.

And you have her number if you need anything.

And all his medications are listed.

- You do know I'm a nurse, right?

- Two blues.

Boom, I win.

- That's my girl.

- Let's not say anything about his senior moments.

- You sure? That's a good idea?

- I, I don't want them to get the wrong idea

and talk us into some lockdown psych ward.

- Okay.

- Oh man.

- Okay, pop. It's time for meds and a water break.

- I already took my meds and I'm not thirsty.

- No, you didn't. It's been 37 minutes since lunch,

which is time for meds.

And you need to stay hydrated.

- I know when I'm thirsty, - Not arguing about it.

I'm in charge here. Bottoms up.

- I've learned. It's just better to go along with her.

- Okay.

- So what questions do you have for me?

- I'm just so glad we found you.

- So what's the process here? - We'll get the paperwork

finished and then we will get you

on the waiting list for a room.

- So we signed today. When can we get in?

- Looks like we should have a room available... February 26th.

- February. - That's six months from now.

- Well, something could open up sooner if, well, you know.

But I can't make any promises.

- Why do you do that? - Because it is my job.

- Why is it your job?

- I will not be interrogated young lady.

Incroyable!

- What is it?

- We have a ghost. - A ghost.

- Oui, Oui.

- This is a new low. - You've gotta stay active.

- You're grandmother

and I hiked the Grand Canyon in our sixties.

- Y'all were always on the move.

It's more like this.

- So how's life treating you?

- If I'm being honest,

I feel like my life is unraveling when it should be raveling.

Is that even a word?

- I know what you mean.

- Matt's throwing himself into his business. Which is good.

I guess Harper's doing well in school.

I'm finishing my graduate degree.

I think things should be good. I'm not sure what to do.

- OW!

- Sorry.

- You were always the girl in charge.

The one with all the answers.

What would you tell yourself if you weren't you?

- Buck up.

Tighten the reins and push on

- That working?

- Mom says, I need to pray more.

- Yeah? All the good that'll do you.

- What about you? - What about me?

- This has all been a huge change for you.

- Just gotta buck up and push on.

I don't have any rains to tighten.

I I haven't felt like I've had any rains since...

Since the cancer took your grandma.

- You're still here. There's gotta be some purpose in that.

- What if you decide to start praying?

Why don't you ask him why I'm still here.

Who was doing laundry?

- Not me. - Pops?

Did you start a load?

We have got to get this cleaned up.

- Yeah, I'm outta here. - Oh no you don't.

You grab the mop.

- Absolutely not.

- You might find some purpose in that mop bucket now.

Come on and help me.

- Got any threes? - Go fish.

Got any kings?

- Read'em and weep. - Oh man.

- Alright kiddo. Time to get ready.

- An old folks home is an old folks home.

- Please don't be like that.

It's a great place where you can get the care you need.

- Yeah. Needy me.

The only thing is there's not an opening until February.

- February?

- We will just have to make the best of it.

We can buckle down for six months.

Do you mind talking to him?

- Yeah. 'cause he likes me so much.

- What do you want? - Just making sure you're okay.

- I know you're trying to get rid of me.

- Robert.

- Just 'cause something doesn't perform the way you want it

to doesn't mean you can just abandon it.

- We're not abandoning you. - Hiding me away then.

- Come on. You can't really think that. - Okay.

- I'm just trying to help.

- No one invited you to help.

- Who's that?

- This is my father. - What was he like?

- He was a hard man, an alcoholic.

- That must have been fun. - It was typical.

I wanted to be better.

- I'll probably never say this again.

So you better have your hearing aids on.

I think you did better. A lot better.

- Yeah? Your dad

died when you were a kid.

You have good memories?

- Yeah, I think so.

- I wonder if she'll have good memories of me.

- Yeah. I'd do anything to have my dad back.

- Wish I had memories of him going to my ball games.

Playing go fish.

- Yeah. Even memories of him yelling at me

- Man to man...

This

being a burden.

It's, it's hard to stomach. Ah, you're not a burden.

Useless, then

- PopPop! - Who goes there?

- You are not a ghost. - Says who?

- I made you something. - Oh,

- But ghost can't wear it.

So you can't be a ghost.

- No more ghost. - As the reigning queen of candy land,

I hear by dub you the king of go fish.

- Oh hail the go fish king.

- Goodnight. Pop. Pop. Goodnight granddad.

- Goodnight honey.

- Never heard of a useless king.

- You obviously don't know much history.

- The go fish king.

- Very truly, I tell you, when you were young,

you dressed yourself and went where you wanted.

But when you are old, you will stretch out your hand

and someone else will dress you

and lead you where you do not want to go.

And so while this was said to Peter, it serves as a reminder

to all of us today that part

of the human experience is getting older

and there is no shame in depending upon others.

And so we're reminded as we are raising our children,

that we are raising the adults

that will care for us one day.

So impart, your values

and your wisdom. Build strong relationships.

And hopefully, one day you will have wise, and patient,

and trustworthy caregivers that you can depend on.

- I'm reading. - Oh, I'm sorry. I was just on a roll.

- Have a seat. I've been wanting to talk to you

about this old folks home.

- It really isn't like that Dad. It...

- Doesn't matter what you call it.

Why are you both so stuck on it?

- What are you saying? - I took care of your mother

until her last breath.

What's so wrong with having me here?

- It's not like we don't want you here.

- Well, it sure seems like it.

- Dad, you are forgetting a lot.

- Everyone forgets things.

- We can't afford to have a live-in nurse

- Since when am I dying?

- We are just trying to take the right steps for the future.

- Things are fine just the way they are now.

- Barely. I've got my hands full running this place

and Jason's got his book Deal and deadlines.

We're not abandoning you. We'll be there to visit.

- Yeah. Like you visited for the past couple of years.

- Look, we've got Louie now,

so we're gonna have more time to visit

- You!

Put that back.

This is not where they go.

- What are you doing?

- I have found our ghost.

- This clown doesn't know how to organize a proper kitchen.

- Clown?! (Rants in french)

- I will kick your derrière, Marie Antoinette.

- I cannot work under these conditions. I quit.

- Isn't she lovely?

You know who that is, right?

- Should I - Dad? It's mom.

- I just forgot this picture.

Yeah, she was beautiful.

- Mom. He left.

- After counseling,

He was just so agitated.

I just asked if he could help with

laundry. He started yelling

and packed a bag.

- Honey, I'm so sorry.

- I told him that I'm pregnant.

- A baby. That's wonderful.

- But I can't afford tuition and the house

let alone another child on my own.

- You and Harper can stay here as long as you need.

- I'll help you figure this out.

- It kinda looks like this one. Black Widow.

- Okay. - What is it, kiddo?

- I don't want mommy and daddy to be sad anymore.

- Honey.

Sometimes grownups feel sad

or angry just like you.

But the good thing about feelings

is they don't stick around forever.

Which means they won't always be sad.

- What's wrong with your hand?

- Nothing sweetie. PopPop's just getting old.

- You're not old. You're just well seasoned.

- Tell that to your grandparents.

Hey, I'm gonna go check on your mom.

Don't let that thing out.

I could take him out for you. I know people.

- Thanks, but I think that would scar Harper even more.

- Well the offer stands. - How did you and grandma do it?

- Honey, you don't want my advice.

- You both always seemed happy.

- We had our ups and downs, but yeah, we were mostly.

- Better or for worse?

- In sickness and in health.

- Was it hard taking care of her those last few years?

- Yeah, but I had

purpose taking care of her.

- You okay? - Yeah. Just old achy bones.

- Robert?

Robert?

I thought you were dead.

- You don't wake a man like that.

Yeah. Well it's lunchtime.

Harper. Morgan.

Harper. Sweetie. Were you playing in granddad's office?

- No. - Harper, you need to tell me the truth.

- I don't play in your office. It's a big no-no.

- Then how did sticky stuff get all over my laptop?

Harper,

- Why are you yelling at her?

- She got sticky stuff all over my laptop.

- No I didn't.

- There you go. She said she didn't do it.

- Well, someone did. And now all my work is absolutely gone.

Absolutely gone.

- You didn't back it up anywhere. - What?

- To the cloud. - What does that even mean?

- Geez, you're such a boomer.

- Do not condescend me young lady.

- I do not need to listen to this.

- Sorry about the shiner. - It'll be fine.

- It was an accident. Why are you mad?

- I'm not mad. - Yes you are.

- No I'm not. - I know what mad looks like.

Why are you mad?

- Because I feel like the walls are closing in on me, okay!

My writing was gone. My manager quit.

Everything that I've worked

for is vanishing and I can't fix it.

Why? God, why can't you help me? What have I done?

I'm so lost.

I just need something. A sign. Anything.

Why can't I do this?

- You left your evening chores half done.

Morgan had to help me finish everything.

- Just needed some air. - Are we gonna talk about it?

- Nothing to talk about. - Clearly there is.

- Okay. You wanna talk? Let's talk. I can't do this anymore.

No, I don't wanna do this anymore.

I am sick and tired of folding laundry and

and making reservations.

I was supposed to be writing a book,

- Honey. I was supposed to go see my...

- And now I'm back to parenting,

Not only my grown daughter, my granddaughter,

and my father-in-law who may or may not be losing his mind.

- And you think I'm fulfilled just by folding laundry

and making lunches for strangers?

I had other things I wanna do too.

- That's great. Sounds like we're both miserable.

- I have a interview for a supervising role today.

Yeah, I've got a good feeling about this one.

- Mom, when are we going back home?

Why don't we go upstairs and talk about that.

- Dad, are you okay?

Daddy

- Morgan! - We're calling for help.

- Morgan!

- It looks like Mr. Davis has suffered a massive stroke.

- So what's your plan?

- We'll keep monitoring, but the next 48 hours of critical.

- Thank you. - I'm gonna go check in at the nurse's

station, see what more they can tell me.

Then I'll take Harper home.

- I don't wanna leave PopPop.

- I know sweetheart. But we need

to take shifts over the next few days.

We'll go home and come back tomorrow. Okay?

And I'll bring back anything you need. - Thank you, honey.

- Mommy. Is PopPop gonna leave like daddy did?

- I didn't know whether you wanted hot or cold,

and I couldn't decide either. So I just got both.

I'm sorry.

- Sorry. - Sorry about the other day.

- Me too. It's been pretty stressful for all of us.

- You think stress caused this?

I shouldn't have blown up like that.

- I forgive you - Think we should call Louie?

- We could use the help.

I'll be right back? I'm gonna go make a call. Love you.

- It's your turn.

Oh, candy canes. Sorry. Pop

Yellow.

It's your turn.

- Hey kiddo. I think Pops is getting tired.

Why don't we save the game for another time and let him rest.

Okay.

Gotta get Harper to Matt's. I have class this afternoon.

- I'm praying the Lord opens the right door, Honey.

What is it?

Dad, what can I do for you?

- Nothing. - Are you in pain? Are you hungry?

- Look at me. - I see a strong,

resilient man.

A man that God is blessed with more life to live.

- What has God done for me?

- Oh Dad, He has blessed you with so much.

You have air in your lungs.

You have family by your side,

and you have a mind that is full of wisdom.

So what do we do now?

- He's stable. So there isn't much more we need

to do here in the hospital.

We could explore some care facilities.

- What about bringing him home? What would that look like?

- I'd be willing to discuss that if we brought in hospice.

- Hospice? He's dying.

- Hospice would provide more management for comfort

and end of life care.

- How long are we talking about?

- It's impossible to say. - Take me to home.

- What? - Take me to the nursing home.

- I thought you didn't want that.

- I'm no use now. I'm just in the way. I'll just be the way.

- Will there be nurses and doctors

there to take care of him?

- Yes, sweetheart. - So if he's living there,

he can't get hurt again, right?

It's okay. PopPop, I'll come visit you

- Mr. Davis. I was sorry to hear about your stroke.

It's nice to see you on your feet in recovery.

- Thanks. - Okay, I'll cut to it.

After reviewing the medical records

and test results, I'm afraid we're unable

to offer Mr. Davis care here at Sunny Meadows.

- What do you mean? - Mr. Davis is exhibiting significant

signs of Alzheimer's.

We manage clients with a range of physical disabilities

and ailments, but we're not certified

or equipped to admit an Alzheimer's patient.

- Okay? So who is?

- The only facility with memory care is in

Washington County.

- That's three hours away. - I'm very sorry.

- Can we pray?

- Father, you know our situation.

We come to you and ask for guidance,

we pray you will lead us down the right path.

We feel so lost.

- Are you dying? - No. Not just yet.

- Good. Then it's still time to tell you about the bracelet.

- It's pretty cool. - I made it at camp. See the black one?

The black one is for sin. Do you know what sin is?

- I do. - Okay. The red one is for Jesus' blood.

Did you know He spilled all of it?

All of it, for me and for you.

The white one is us, after Jesus blood has washed the sin away.

The green one is us as a new creation.

And the gold one is really important. Especially for you, PopPop

because you're old.

- Is that right?

- The gold one is for heaven. It's where we go and we die.

But only if we go to black, to red, to white to green.

Get it?

- You have given me a lot to think about kiddo,

- Mr. Davis?

Time to take your blood pressure.

- Why don't you run along and let the nurse help PopPop.

So if I'm not dying, why are you here?

- Dad!?

I'll just be here once a week to check on you

until you get settled into your new facility.

- Yeah.

- How is there not another facility closer

that handles memory care?

- I don't know. - It's not right.

- I know, honey. Have you talked with Matt?

- Not really. - I'm praying for you all. All four of you.

- I know. Thank you.

- Oh, it is you. - You're back.

- Hmm?

You look terrible.

- Thanks. - So what are you on house arrest for at this time?

- Robbed a bank.

- Hmm. And you did not ask me to be your getaway driver.

- You can drive?

- No. That is why they would never suspect me.

- It's no use. - What's No use

- Trying to cheer me up.

- Mm. Is that what I'm supposed to be doing?

Well, I'm sorry you are dying.

- I'm not dying. I'm just useless.

- What do Americans say?

God don't make junk.

- Hmm. - That is even true for you.

- So why is he still keeping me here?

- Have you asked him?

You ask me? I think you already know the answer.

You are still here?

- Yes? - You must still have some purpose.

I can't imagine what that could be.

Iron sharpens iron.

You strike me as the kind of man who sharpens other people.

- By rubbing him the wrong way, maybe.

- Perhaps.

But maybe your purpose is to refine those around you.

Like helping in ways only you can.

- I've never helped anyone - Physically. No.

That is obvious. But if you tell

anyone what I'm about to say, I will deny it.

You have what many are lacking. Wisdom.

And so you can either give away your wisdom

and accept their help, or be useless

and still have people helping you.

It is your move.

- So, do you have a parent here?

- Yeah, my dad lives here.

I'm waiting to take him to a doctor's appointment.

- How did you decide where he needed to live?

- His condition made that decision for us.

I still have to work so I can't be home with him.

I don't know that it would be the best situation

for our relationship anyway.

Every family is different.

- So how long were you as caregiver?

- Oh gosh. Eight years. I think.

- Ever wanna quit - All the time.

There are good days and bad days.

- Just like when we were parenting.

- But parenting our parents.

- It is weird for sure.

Totally different dynamic, but a beautiful one I think.

- How so? - The opportunity on both

sides to exercise patience, humility, and sacrifice.

- All things we enjoy so much.

- Don't get me wrong, it's hard.

But what a privilege to care for the people

who cared for us.

Not all of them make it to this age.

- The position doesn't even come with a pay increase.

I'm not sure what to do Pops.

Any words of wisdom?

- Do I Look like I have words of wisdom?

- Yeah, you do... because you're old.

- Harper reminded me.

- You've lived life. You've seen things.

That's gotta count for something.

- Now you sound like Louie.

- Grampa, please? Please try.

- I don't know how.

What we've been doing so far hasn't been working.

What do you say, we try something new together.

Hey God, it's me...

- What if it was you, Dad?

What would I do then?

- What's wrong? You look like you've seen a ghost.

Yeah, kind of.

So what are you doing?

- Wanted a snack. - What's that?

- This is a gift from Harper.

- She's so sweet.

Well, Night then.

- Night.

- God, forgive me for being impatient,

for being selfish. For only thinking about what I wanted

and not how I could serve.

God, I'd give anything to have more time with my dad.

And now I have an opportunity to love, to serve,

to learn from another father you've given me.

Please help me to not squander the

time that I have left with him.

- Just in time. I need your help. Red or blue?

- Red. - Could you get me my cuff links there?

- What? - The little metal thingies

to hold my sleeves together. In that box there.

- Which one? Silver or gold? - It's got to be gold.

- Why? - Because that's the color of heaven, right?

- And so Robert, have you accepted

Jesus as your Lord and Savior?

I have. - Then in the name of Jesus, I baptize you in the name

of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.

- Oh, we about to have a heart to heart?

- Kinda, Yeah.

I want to know what you want.

- A pony.

- I'm serious. You wanna stay here?

Or do you wanna live in a memory care place?

- I tell you what I don't want. I don't wanna be set aside.

- So what would make you feel useful?

- Being here with you guys. Helping where I can.

- You wanna stay here?

- I do, but I don't wanna be a burden.

- Well, I'm really sorry I made you feel that way.

- I was just starting to think I did have something to offer

then I made Louie quit.

- He's back now, so it's okay.

- And I spilled ice cream on

your... (mumbles)

- What? - I spilled ice cream on your laptop.

- That was you?

- Every time I think I'm being useful,

I end up tearing everything apart.

- It wasn't my best writing anyway.

I probably, no, I definitely needed to start over.

And you're not a burden.

- Son.

You really want me to stay?

- Absolutely. Well figure it out.

- And with some renovations

and shuffling things around,

we could make this the perfect place.

- There's not another one like it in this whole area.

- Who'd run it? - Our very own nurse.

See, I'm obviously not going to live forever, so eventually

you gonna need a new job.

- That's just it. It's not for you, or it's not just for you.

We would be helping so many other families in

the same situation.

- Yeah, this can definitely work.

(Cheering)

(Jason's Voiceover) It's another one of those moments.

A moment to embrace a new season.

Robert! No, no, no. He isn't like that.

- Oh, guess we've all grown and changed.

Well, the keys are hers now.

Time for her to make a new life for herself... and for others.

You know, I think we're all finding

purpose in this new season.

- Why do you do that? Because it is my job.

- What's your job? - To take care of you, mon cheri.
