My aging father moved in with my family 14 years ago. I've learned a lot about how I want to prepare for my own retirement.
Fourteen years ago my dad moved in with my family of four. He has remained mostly independent, though he no longer drives and relies on me for getting around. Helping care for my dad has helped me plan for my own future retirement. In 2011 my dad moved in with my family of four. Now, 14 years later at 82, he's still here and thriving. No one prepares you for what it really is like to be part of the sandwich generation. Raising kids and taking care of a parent at the same time isn't for the faint of heart. I always knew my dad would end up living with me even if he didn't think life would play out that way, so I planned for it. The big challenge was when the time came he was moving from another state to a place he had no friends or familiarity with the local area. We were his life-line. And we're lucky it worked out. The early days were easy At 68, my father's longtime partner died. He didn't have a substantial amount of money saved up for his retirement, so he moved in with me, my spouse, and our two young kids. For the first few years, my dad was able to drive himself to his activities and to the grocery store. He mostly did his own thing. We would have dinners together and our friends and neighbors became his, too. Everyone loves Grampy, as he is lovingly addressed. With most of our family members scattered across the country, it was great to have a grandparent with us to watch our kids grow up. We were also fortunate enough to have an in-law unit in our home, so we all had our own space. That's an important piece of making living together work. Space. We've had a few health things happen along the way, including a skin cancer scare, which we resolved. But we couldn't fix the macular degeneration affecting his eyesight, which caused him to stop driving and give up the car keys at 77. That's when things changed and my role shifted The hardest part has been managing my dad's pride and loss of independence. I've learned that even while your body may be aging, your mind still thinks you're younger than you are. And I would agree, at 53, I definitely feel much younger most days. Not being able to do what you want to do or drive where you want to go when you want to is a huge change. Relying on others is definitely a hit to one's ego. As his eyesight worsened, I began managing his medicines, driving him to activities and doctors appointments, as well as helping with grocery runs. My role is not as a parent, nor as a traditional care-giver, but to me, it feels like it is more than a daughter. I now have a different idea of what I want my retirement to look like Fortunately, my dad is healthy and can handle all of the daily activities of living, except for driving. Over the last 14 years, I've learned a lot about how I want to age and move into my eventual retirement. With two college-aged children, I still have time to plan for what the future holds and want to be around for a long time. While the monetary part of retirement is important, what's even more critical is being of sound mind and body for as long as possible, which means I'm focusing on taking care of myself now. Multigenerational living has taught me about health, love, resilience, and what it really means to feel secure with each year that passes. We've given that security to my dad and I am grateful for the time, the stories, the laughs, the ups, and the downs. I wouldn't trade the time for the world. After all, that's what life is about. Family. We all live. We all age. And I'm going to take all my knowledge into the next few decades to do so gracefully. Read the original article on Business Insider Solve the daily Crossword

Trial begins for US fugitive accused of faking his death to avoid rape charges
SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — A man accused of faking his death and fleeing the country to avoid rape charges faced an alleged victim in court Monday as a jury trial in Utah began. The man known in the U.S. as Nicholas Rossi, whose legal name is Nicholas Alahverdian, is accused of sexually assaulting two women in Utah in 2008. Prosecutors are trying the cases separately, with the first set in Salt Lake County. Rossi, 38, was arrested in Scotland in 2021 — a year after he was reported dead — when he was recognized at a Glasgow hospital while receiving treatment for COVID-19. He lost an extradition appeal after claiming he was an Irish orphan named Arthur Knight who had never set foot on American soil and was being framed. Prosecutors say they have identified at least a dozen aliases Rossi used over the years to evade capture. Rossi appeared in court in a wheelchair, wearing a suit and tie and using an oxygen tank. The woman identified him from the witness stand, saying he's 'a little bit heavier, a little bit older' but mostly looks the same. District Judge Barry Lawrence helped clarify for the jury some of the twists and turns of the case, explaining that different people may refer to Rossi by different names. The defense and prosecution agreed it's factual that Rossi was in Utah in 2008 and had a relationship with the alleged victim that year. Prosecutors painted a picture of an intelligent man who used his charm to take advantage of a vulnerable young woman. He raped her when she pushed back against his attempts to control her, said Deputy Salt Lake County District Attorney Brandon Simmons. The woman, who the judge asked not be identified publicly, described a whirlwind relationship with Rossi that began in November 2008 while she was recovering from a traumatic brain injury. The two began dating after she responded to a personal ad Rossi posted on Craigslist and were engaged within about two weeks. The woman described being asked to pay for their dates, cover Rossi's rent so he wouldn't be evicted from his apartment and take on debt to buy their engagement rings. Then, the relationship spiraled quickly, with Rossi 'becoming controlling and saying mean things to me,' she testified. The couple got into a fight in which Rossi pounded on her car and used his body to block her from pulling out of the parking garage. She finally let him inside and drove him home but said she had no plans of continuing a relationship. She agreed to go into his house to talk, but he instead pushed her onto his bed, held her down and 'forced me to have sex with him,' she testified. The woman described lying still, paralyzed with fear. 'I was a little bit more of a timid person back then, and so it was harder for me to stand up for myself,' she said. Dismissive comments from her parents convinced her not to go to the police at the time, she said. She did, however, try to bring Rossi to small claims court over the engagement rings but dropped the case. Rossi's lawyers sought to convince the jury that the alleged victim built up years of resentment after Rossi made her foot the bill for everything in their monthlong relationship, and accused him of rape to get back at him a decade later when she saw him in the news. Rossi will also stand trial in September over another rape charge in Utah County. Rossi grew up in foster homes in Rhode Island and had returned to the state before allegedly faking his death. An obituary published online claimed he died on Feb. 29, 2020, of late-stage non-Hodgkin lymphoma. State police, along with Rossi's former lawyer and a former foster family, cast doubt on whether he was dead. A year later, hospital staff in Scotland recognized his tattoos from an Interpol notice and alerted authorities. He was extradited to Utah in January 2024. 'This case is like an old puzzle from the thrift store," said MacKenzie Potter, one of Rossi's attorneys. "It's 13 years old, not all the pieces are there, some pieces are from a different puzzle. And when you start going through everything, you're not going to get a complete picture.' Prosecutors pushed back, saying that if any 'puzzle pieces' are missing, it's because Rossi's attorneys fought to have some evidence dismissed.

More than $200,000 worth of supplies for new building stolen from Fort Worth church
A Fort Worth church is reeling after thieves stole an entire brand-new building from their property – a structure worth more than $200,000 before it was even assembled. Now, the congregation is asking for the community's help. When Pastor Brian Fisher arrived at Longvue Baptist Church's newest property in west Fort Worth the morning of Saturday, Aug. 9, he immediately knew something was wrong. "It was a gut punch. I can't think of anything else. It just takes the wind out of you," said Fisher. Several cut locks and chains remained, but every piece of the church's new metal auditorium and family life center, once laid out across the grass, was gone. "I just put my hands up. Oh, no. What do we do? I mean, what happened?" Fisher said. For the past year, the materials had sat locked behind a chain on Old Weatherford Road near Rolling Hills, waiting for permits and utility work to be approved by the city of Fort Worth. The plan was to begin construction soon and open their doors to serve more members of the community after two years of fundraising to purchase the supplies. "We've had families that have sacrificed so they could give toward it. It's heartbreaking," said Fisher. He never thought anyone would be able to steal it. "The material was brought in on three 18-wheelers... I mean, we're talking 160,000 pounds in all," he said. This isn't the first time the church has been targeted. Last December, Fisher said a $12,000 trailer was stolen from the same site and never recovered. Today, several trailers still sit on the property, and insulation materials have been rummaged through. "You can see, there's one last roll that was left here," said Fisher. He filed a police report with Fort Worth police and said there has been no update yet on the investigation. He believes the theft happened within the last several weeks. With no working security cameras on site, Fisher is now offering a $1,000 reward for information leading to the recovery of the stolen materials, hoping someone saw or unknowingly bought the stolen property. "If someone has seen something, something that may stand out, I would love to be able to get it back," he said.
