There is nothing wrong with suggestions to Dad, alternatives he may not have considered. But, in the end, please let your Father have his choice honored.... even if you do not agree with what he chooses.... even if you're sure you know a better way. Even if it is very hard to do.
Remember... inside he is still the man he always was. An adult with a long history... a veteran perhaps.
As long as he is competent, he must be allowed to choose what he wants for himself.
Put yourself in his place for a moment. Wouldn't you want that same respect afforded you?
