My dad is 95 today. He is well enough, cared for, loved. The pandemic and its requirements for slowly starting to re-open do not compute for him. It’s just as well. When I have visited, and will soon again, we are able to connect about other things.
Beauty, nature, the joys of good food, time and space to read, the love of my mom, our family, memories of the long shared life all comprise our visits. My gratitude is endless for him. I love how he cares for my mother. He taught me well the joys of being outdoors, and how to be a stepparent.
How would you like to be 95 now? What would your downstream have to say about you? Ki to Happiness wishes all our Dad’s a Happy birthday!
