My heart aches for him when I’m two thousand miles away; and aches when we share a hug. His frail frame, once greater than any of my childhood fears, is a shadow of the man who stood between me and harm’s way all those years ago.
My father turned 91 earlier this week. The celebration was modest, much like the man. The milestone included a 12-hour ER visit with the usual middle-of-the-night run. Needless to say, Florida has more than its fair share of elderly.
Why is it in His infinite wisdom, the shelf life of our individual body parts are all over the board? This too shall pass, as will the lot of us, sooner or later. Whatever!
I’m going rogue for today’s Fun Fotos. No photos; just a few ‘Small Thoughts’ courtesy of my good friend Joan. She prefaced her gift with her own thoughts. Some of these are “so you.” She knows me too well.
Enjoy! I know I did.
