Jeez, how is it possible that time is flying by so fast? Is it because I'm older? Damn, that sucks. I guess that just means I need to make every second count? At the same time, I got sick a couple of Fridays ago and cannot shake this tickling cough in the back of my throat. Which also means that I haven't gone to see my Por Por but I'm hoping to see her tomorrow.
Tho I did drive my Dad to the cemetery to see Mom last weekend. And unexpectedly he got teary-eyed. Man, it still kills me when I see him upset. You're not supposed to see your parents cry. They're supposed to be the strong ones, to protect you and keep it all together. Funny, how the roles have reversed. Is anyone ever prepared for this? Not complaining....love my Dad. He's like a little kid even tho he's going to be 75 this year. He definitely enjoys life and makes the most of it. And I have to remind myself to appreciate him more. He has endured a lot from the time he came to the US. While he may not have been the best father growing up, he did the best he could. I get that and while there were lots of hard and dark times, there were also laughter and a love for life that he exuded. I definitely inherited that from him as well as a serious side from my Mom. Love reading and listening to music. I'm a product of them both!
