I was trying to stay focused on my father and deal with one problem at a time.

Here, she is back to being dependent on her father while trying to care for three young children.

I've had my eye on your father for quite some time now.

"I think we might operate on your father within the next week or so."

He went on to report what he'd learned from the newspaper and his father.

Along with trying to listen, he kept an eye on his father.

He would call on his father and stay with him.

"I think they were doing it to increase the pressure on my father."

And I like the idea of you getting the last word on your father.

"Perhaps with what you've told me we can change the decision on your father."
