Happy 89th Birthday to my dad!
My dad turns 89 tomorrow. This has been a really hard year for him and my mom. I thought for sure that we would lose him im February, but he is getting better and stronger every day at the nursing home. We are celebrating his birth with 3 pies made by my sister and cupcakes made by my daughter, jenn4him. I'm bringing drinks.
It is such a bittersweet, surreal time for me right now. Mom and dad are thinking that since he is feeling better they can go home. Mom believes that the only reason they are at the nursing home is because dad needs to be well enough to go home. Neither one remembers the "talk" about how they could not take care of themselves.
Anyway, tomorrow is his day and I can only pray that we are able to make it a good one for him to enjoy. I almost wish that the weather would cooperate with rain or snow (yuck) as a sunny warm day will make them both want to break out. We will eat pie and cupcakes and love each other as only a loving family can in the confines of their room, and dodge the Big Elephant that is dancing around us (the "going home" question).
