Dad Update and a Memory

Dad's bladder infection is clearing up and they may let him go home tonight or tomorrow.  My cousin will be there if need be, and a local grandson this weekend if he needs some help til I come out again. I wish he'd come live with us but he's insistent he wants to end his days in his home of 60 years.

Thank you again for your thoughts and prayers and words of support and kindness.  The photo above was from his 91st birthday, where he made burgers on the grill at my Indiana home and spoiled Barkley.  I hope to be in such good shape at 91 (I'm afraid at 91 I'll pretty much resemble a whacked can of Pillsbury biscuits).  That summer he was still doing Nautilus at the gym four days a week and golfing regularly.  But the last couple of years have been tough, especially losing my brother and stepmom, and we know his days are fewer and fewer.

Some sleep and then some thanks of my own, for family and friends that are there when we need it.
