Dad...

This week has been a hard one for my dad. He was in the hospital from Thursday to Saturday and again in the emergency room all day Wednesday with serious health issues. He has a great attitude about life and is fighting to get well. He is extremely tired but still wants to play cards and talk, even though he falls asleep during both. He maintains a sense of humor and makes me laugh when I think I'm going to cry. We haven't had a great parent-child relationship and have developed it only in the last few years...I can now say, -it's never too late! It has made me reflect a lot about life...I read a blog that touched me deeply while I was thinking about that, last night...(see Saturday's entry "resolved 2 Worship" on the right side of the "blog list I'm following"...ie..."Letter to Lakelyn and Grandaddy" to read)....very profound.

Yesterday, I decided to take a couple of photos of us by myself holding the camera...you see people do it all the time and they turn out great....here are my "laughing out loud" results...



-and then the Hospice nurse came and took one... it's a little better than my attempts...

Fight the good fight dad!

I'm glad God gave you the time you needed with your Dad...hopefully he'll give each of you peace and comfort as the journey nears it's end.
