I just got my Dad washed up and into bed for the night.....
6 or 7 years ago,my Dad had a double hip replacement.Last saturday he fell and fractured his femur just below the steel rod that was inserted into the bone of his right leg.He spent almost a week in the Veterans Hospital,I picked him up yesterday (friday) and brought him home to stay with me for a while.
He is very in-firm,and taking care of him is a BIG job!!!!! and I am CHERISHING every minute!!!!! My Dad is a tough old bugger!!!!! He's had 2 MAJOR heart attacks,NEWMEROUS boughts of phnemonia,the double hip replacement.....Thanks to the Good Lord,He is still with us. My Ma passed away in 2002,We thought that the sadness would kill my Dad,but it didn't.....
I would like to express my deepest sympathy to those of my friends whose Dads are not with us this year.and for my friends whose Dads ARE here this Fathers Day.....PLEASE.....NEVER take them for granted!!!!! They can be gone in a heartbeat or the blink of an eye.....God Bless
Happy Fathers Day Everyone!!!!!!!!!!
