week of gratitude - day 3
Nov. 25th, 2015 09:09 amI'm grateful my dad is doing okay.
I dreamed about his death last night. It was odd, mostly for how not-disturbing it was. I feel like I'm going to be pretty numb when it does happen. But for now, he's recovering nicely - his surgeon gave him the go-ahead to drive and lift things again last week, so he's basically back to where he was before the surgery, just with more heart medications and a new scar or two.
He's 72 years old, with heart, blood pressure, and kidney problems, so his death isn't as far as away as either of us might like. But it's not going to happen right now, and for that, I'm thankful.
