Life

The last few days have been kinda crazy around here. Evan's party was a big success, and he had a blast bowling with his friends. I got a call Sunday night from my mom, telling me my dad is in the hospital in Midland. He went down for his sister's 80th surprise party and fell ill on Sat night. Apparently he took a dizzy spell, knocked his head and they took him to the nearest hopital. Turns out he also has a touch of pneumonia as well and spent the last 2 days in the ICU there. Needless to say, it has been a bit of an emotional roller coaster the last few days. He is now in a room and out of ICU and where they go from here, still unclear. It makes me reazlize yet again how fragile and precious life is. The last few years have seen illness, seperation, and death. Now it sounds like dad will be back to his old stubborn self in no time, but if anybody out there reads this, could you send him a few good thoughts? I am off today, thinknin about cleanaing out the van, but that remains to be seen. Tut, tut, looks like rain.....Speaking of which, I am off to the showers and then into town.

Thinking about and sending good thoughts your Dad's way.

From the "been there, done that" file: Don't you feel about a million miles away from Mom and Dad right about now?

Thinking of you, too.
