Let us touch the dying, the poor, the lonely and the unwanted according to the graces we have received and let us not be ashamed or slow to do the humble work… Mother Theresa

Things As It Should Be
The things I am feeling lately are weird. I don’t feel like everything is as it should be. Maybe that is the point of life is that the only thing you can ever count on is change. Everything you know and love goes through some form of transition into another time and space and things at it should be aren’t anymore.
Funny the way change manifests itself. What my family is going through is change we never ever expected. Alas here we are.
Father and Mother Relations
I know not everyone had a good relationship with their father and or mother. Believe me I have seen how some of my friends have suffered because of it. Estrangement is no fun. My life has been blessed with a great dad who has been my rock for so many years. I hope those who have had family issues have found someone to be a surrogate or have adopted someone as their dad and or mom. Father and mother relations can be a very tough thing for those who have been hurt. Grace and peace to you all.
Status Update
Spending most of this Saturday with my dad. I’m happy to be with him today.
Blogging About Real Life
The best blogging is about the real-time stories that happen in your life. Reality provides loads of things to post about.
For me lately its about my father who is sick and under hospice care. This situation he is in was something no one expected, anticipated or was ready for. We don’t know how much time is left but we will spend quality time with him and caring for my mom too.
I feel like sharing my story of the love I have for him and the real-life suffering we are going through is important in that it might help you or someone you know. My dad is a wonderful man who I love deeply.
I welcome all who are joining me on this journey. Thank you for your concern and know that you my fellow bloggers are great!
Too Loud
Some things are too damn loud even when the volume is turned down. It rattles the ears and invades the senses. You have to change the channel or turn everything off for some peace and quiet. The world of everything is like this these days. Where’s my remote control or my smartphone?
