Dad's been in the hospital since Sunday. Pneumonia. Good news, though: He's better and ready to go home tomorrow.
After talking to someone who recently read big chunks of this blog, I re-read many, many posts last weekend. So many are about Mom and Dad and the sweetness of their relationship. On Father's Day when I couldn't reach Dad and then found out he was in the ER and then being admitted to the hospital, those posts haunted me.
Talked to Dad today. He's thrilled about the hospital room he's in. It's so comfortable for Mom, he says -- almost like a small apartment. It's not terribly important this time, he thinks, but he's glad to know she'll have these luxuries available when he's hospitalized for the final time.
Walking to my car later, I passed the jewelry store. Tears streaming down my face, I asked those watches, "Why you always got to be running?"
Couldn't hear their answer but felt every tick, right through the plate glass window.

Dear Jerri, and that sounds just like all you've ever said about your dad--that his first concern is always the welfare of your mother. He is quite a wonderful human being. I will visualize him surrounded by healing white light. Peace, Dee
<3 Hang in there, sweetie.
To paraphrase something I read years ago, 'the best gift a man can give his children is to love their mother'. You have shown through all the stories here about your parents that your father has mastered that!
Close to tears.
Lots of love to you, m'dear. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Hang in there.
((Jerri))
I love your mom and dad.
It’s nearly impossible to find educated people for this subject, however, you seem like you know what you’re talking about! Thanks
