When Tara Hastings was attending Clark High School in Hammond, Indiana, her father Steve - a “Jack of all trades” - used to pick her up and buy her lunch. They would eat together and talk in his truck at a nearby lake.
Hastings, 46, now brings lunch every week to her 70-year-old father, who has Alzheimer’s disease and resides in an assisted living facility in Indianapolis. Last year, he broke his hip and needed surgery. He doesn’t walk anymore.
