Description

When her dad had a health scare, Andrea moved in with him. Her friends told her she was crazy, that she was wasting her life, even some of her family members thought she’d lost it, but Andrea has another point of view. These days with her dad have their ups and downs, some are magical, some much grittier and grumpier than others, but, overall, it just feels “right,” and enlightening. Andrea’s also asking herself whether we don’t have it all wrong when it comes to how we care for the elderly in our society. We explore the ins and outs of what it means to go back to the nest to care of papa bird.
