I like happy endings.

I like happy endings.

I do too! Hopefully this 78 yr old man with Alzheimer's will not be taking the car out by himself any more.

It's very hard for a family to convince older people to give up their driving.

Yep, I'm not going to be the one to tell my 81 YO FIL who has macular degeneration that he has to quit driving. I'm leaving that to my BIL. :022:

Wonderful news about this gentleman though.

I just loved the headline - it looked more like "SURPRISE! Man Missing" to me when I first saw it.
