Going back to VA

In the morning I will be leaving going from Florida back to my home in Virginia.  Even with my youngest daughter and grandson going with me it is still some what depressing knowing all the problems I have to face with my dad and trying to get my house ready for winter so I can come back to Florida. 
Dad has no reason in the world not to come back down to Florida for the winter with me but the fact he has never like or had any change in in life.  As much as I care for him I can not let him drag me down.  I can over the feeling of guilt of leaving him in VA alone rather than me staying up there and continue fighting major depression and SDD.
