Today was a long day, fell asleep about 4am and headed to work about 830 (but then snuck out at 330). Was waiting all day for the call from my mum or step dad. She got into the drs. office real fast and is now waiting for the cardiologist appt - i told her if she waits more than two weeks, that i will go down there and force a bloody appt. Dont make my mum wait dammit!
Then my younger sis gets a call from my older sis in the UK, our real dad is not well, and it is just a matter of days. We knew this was coming, he gave up on life months ago - and this is where the difference in lives happen. One parent surrounded by love, allowing herself to enjoy life, smiling every day, laughing and enjoying her kids and grandkids; and the other one who closed himself off from his family. I feel sorry for my dad - on what he has missed out on; we tried to connect with him many times, and the connection was just lost unfortunately. Sometimes relationships are just not meant to be.
We are blessed to have the most amazing step-father; a man who has raised us for the last 30 years with love, laughter, strictness and guidance. Sure he can be a crotchety old fart - but i love him so much. He is a wonderful grandfather to our sons; and Brady absolutely worships him, and Kyle teases the crap out of him. He has made my mum so so happy - i am thankful to have him in my life.
I love you mum and Geoff; and God Speed to my dad -
