Help for my widowed father

My mother passed away in January of 1998, and I being an only child needed to help my father as his lifelong partner was not with him. For two years I labored with him doing cooking, laundry and other household chores as well as keeping in touch with him twice a day per phone calls from work. I also assisted him with his medical appointments and treatments and made sure that all his bills et al were paid in timely fashion. He eventually passed away two years later in January of 2000, but I am glad that I could be his live-in helper as his mental capacity was a bit disoriented and he could not even make a phone call as before. For me, those two years were the best of my life, and I am glad I could be with him
