PLEASE talk as often as possible, and see them when you can...My parents are 67 and 64 and my dad was just diagnosed with PSP. I've always been close and live about 40 minutes from them but, I see them 2-3 times weekly and talk everyday, sometimes 3-4 times a day. I value their opinions and just enjoy idle chit-chat with them. Oh, and I'm 44.
So sorry your dad has been diagnosed with this rare brain disorder
It's good to remind folks here to speak to their parents while they still can.
My boyfriend is 36 and he talks to his Mom at abt 2-3 times a day and visits her abt every other day.
I go with him once a week on Sundays.
P/s~ Both my parents passed over 15 yrs ago

I'm scratching my head wondering why everything has to be quantified
these days...
- correct number of times to talk to parents
- number of dates before talking about or doing sex
- the age before which you need to have sex otherwise be considered weird
- etc, etc, etc...
It just goes on and on.
Talking to parents is something one just does and not keep a count on
to not be exceeded in a certain period of time.
My dad passed away a long time ago just as I finished up college. I regret
he passed so soon and that I sometimes acted like an ass with him.
My mom is still around and several thousand miles from where I live. I call
and talk to her usually twice a day... sometimes more often on weekends.
I don't think there's any rock solid answer to this question. As often as you can, would be my answer for you. I don't think you can ever regret calling your parents too often, but you can regret not calling them enough. Tomorrow is uncertain...no regrets.
I would say it depends on the relationship you have with your parents. My son is 29, and he rarely calls, but I do hear from him via Facebook at least once per week. My girls are 22 and 24, and I hear from them no less than every other day.
I talk to my mother on the phone about 2-3 times a week. I only talk to my father if he picks up the phone while calling my mother or when I visit them about once a month.
I know some young 20 something independent adults that have to constantly check in with their parents like Foursquare. "Mom I'm eating dinner at Applebees, I'm going to the movies, ok I'm home now"

I don't know if this is a case of being a mama's boy but his Mom has been very ill the last few years and being the only family living in the area, I suppose he has to do what he has to do as a son
