Am I a good daughter?

It is not easy for me to be a good daughter to my father. Mom had passed away 7 years ago. I miss her so much, I miss her everyday. The only left in our family is my father. Telling you the truth, it is not easy to take care of my father because:
1) sometimes he cannot remember things. It's hard to explain to him if he keep asking the same question again and again.
2) he doesn't want to flush the toilet after he had a pee and he is not aiming the urine straight to the toilet bowl and it leads to the stench aroma in the toilet.
3) he refuses to take shower everyday. He will take a bath once a week after I force him to do so.
4) almost every night through out the week, he will knock at my door and force me to sit with him and he will not allowed me to sleep in my bedroom because he is so scared to stay alone.
5) sometimes he is very hot tempered. Lack of patience and it is hard to make him cool down.
6) sometimes he is in hallucination. He sees things. It is hard to calm him down and make him believes that everything is not real.

In spite of all this problems, I am trying so hard to take care of him. He is 87 years old this year. He is not in a good condition and I am trying to do the best for him. After all, he is my father, I love him so much. I realise sometimes I lost my patience and I am being rude to him. I was regretted doing that so everytime I feel I cannot control my tense, I will always remind myself that I have only one father in this world, nothing can replace him and I promise to take care of him although my other siblings are trying to avoid to do so.
Everyday I will pray to God to ease my difficulties of taking care of him.
