Dad's Birthday

We're celebrating Dad's birthday tonight.  It's actually tomorrow -- a spry 83.  Married to the same woman for 57 years..... not a bad piece of work for an Iowa boy.  Way to go dad!  We're proud of you.

This will probably be the last birthday mom and dad have together..... I don't know how much mom will remember about it, but you can be sure we'll have some cameras flashing for proof.  We expect just immediate family and will celebrate as best we can.

Mom is continuing to slip, and the details are not important.  What is important is what I can't forget to tell dad......... See, as I was helping mom at 3am this morning, (who was insistent on brushing her teeth at the sink), she was adament that I tell dad to get that sink cleaned.  "It's a mess!"  Vintage mom.....

Without a miracle the time is coming soon...... And we are getting prepared, as I'm sure God is.  I mean, it's going to be a pretty nice place He has to get ready for her.  It might take more time than the usual place, as she deserves quite a mansion.....

Thanks for you prayers and support!  God bless you all.
