I don’t think Zonk will be able to deal with moving upstairs to adult responsibility, from his comfortable basement apartment, and his parents moving downstairs. Oh, the ignominy!
We did that with our parents; the toughest thing was trying to disavow them of the notion that they should ‘die in their home’, instead of the long-term care facility with 24-hour attention…

“I’m sorry to say that I have two pieces of bad news for you.”
“Give it to me straight, Doc, I can take it.”
“First, I’m afraid you have cancer.”
“Oh, wow, what a downer. What’s the other one?”
“Sorry to say, you’ve got Alzheimer’s.”
“Man, that sucks. Well, at least I don’t have cancer.”
