It was the happiest day of this father's life. I taught my 12-year-old to use the lawnmower.
Ha-ha, just because he/she knows how to use it doesn't mean he/she will do it for you (in case that's your hope)! You remind me of the communication advice in relationship books. You're not supposed to say "honey, CAN you do whatever, please?" because sure he CAN, but whether he WOULD/WILL or not is a totally different cup of tea...
Yeah go Giants! Ever since they beat my most hated team, The Patriots, I am a big Giants fan. I still owe them for that one, for bringing me so much joy and bringing my opponents so much misery. Giants rule.
Mmm... who said chicken? I love chicken. There is a place for all of god's creatures... right next to my mashed potatoes!
I had a normal conversation with my dad over the phone. This was a good day.
He is in the beginning stages of dementia and every day that he is able to carry on a decent conversation is a gift. We are incredibly close. He's quite intelligent and we laughed and talked as if nothing was wrong. But I know that he has less time ahead of him than he has behind and each day that we can have such conversations are days that I cherish. There will come a time where I will want to talk to him and he either will not know who I am are not be there.
These are good times because he is still alive. Our conversation today gave him joy and as a result made me very happy.
Dang, I'm sorry to hear about that Alexus. It's really a tragic condition. My family's business (assisted living) deals with that a lot, special care for people suffering from Alzheimer's disease, so I've always kept on the research and seeing what's up with one day figuring out how to prevent it. But I'm sorry to hear about your dad. That would be really tough.
I bought myself a ticket to see the Trans Siberian Orchestra. Forget about waiting to see if there's a man in my life by January, you can get great seats when you only need one. I got a seat in the 14th row on the floor, and the best available for two seats was in the nosebleed section.
I can't wait - this should be a great show.
