That is a great theory to stick to.

Sometimes it is hour by hour...

And the rough days, are minute by minute.

I'm glad to hear your Father is doing better.

As far as the apology, I would recommend that you take some time. And really reflect what you think your role is.

Take some time sober, to really see how things are different before you can assume how they could be different.

Feel the emotions of that, and let them become part of you, instead of just words coming out of your mouth.
