Finally have time
It has been a busy year and not in a good sense. Beginning of the year my good friend Lindsay passed. Neven and I accepted this as she had been fighting cancer. The month rolls on and on the 27th of January I speak to my mom and she says dad is not doing well. Later he passes away.
AS I got off the phone and hung it up I became really pissed. Not at the fact my dad passed away, not because that I was not out there at that moment but the fact I had not pushed harder to get out there to see him just that one last time. I won't go into details on how it was out there.
A week or two later my mother called and we were talking and about dealing with sorrow and the loss of someone. I told her how I never realized how much Mandy did as I now come home work with my son on his stuff, make dinner, clean spend a little time on the PC and off to bed. My mother then started to tell me there are so many things that needed to be done but now that my dad was not there she has to wait for my brothers to come and visit to get it done. She jokingly said "There is even a light bulb I can't change because I am too short (5'3") " I will never know the sorrow she feels in regards to loosing my dad. They were married 63 years. They were high school sweet hearts. When they went to school the boys and girls went in separate doors and were in separate classes. I will never forget how old my dad was. He always reminded me he was as old as Mickey Mouse. 1928 Steam boat Willy was in theaters. It was one of the 1st cartoons with sounds.
The past 3 years have been shitty for the most part. There have been the ups but for the most part is has been down. Looking down the road I can hope that all of this is behind us, Summer is not too far away and I have 3 weeks of vacation saved up. Who knows what I will do, hell I do not even know. But I bet is is a whole lot better than the past 3 years..........
