sweet Papa
We're big fans in my family of the since-you're-up/while-you're-out mentality. Little side errands that can be tacked on to the main errand, whether it's Dad asking for (demanding) a glass of water when I get up to use the bathroom, or me saying to Mom, "Can I stop and get anything for dinner on the way to your place?"
Dad and I have been calling each other every day to see how the other is doing. He's had to go to the doctor twice over the last week for a minor skin problem, and I have sinusitis, so we're both laid up a bit, though he's still able to work. When he called a few hours ago and asked if there was anything I needed, I joked that I wanted popcorn and chocolate. (I'd just awakened from a nap, and I'd dreamed of popping popcorn on the stove, so I was annoyed that I ran out of popcorn a month ago.) I have apple and orange juice, I have lots of soup and soup mixes, and I have all the meds I need. But Dad's making a trip to the supermarket to get me the kind of popcorn I like best, even though it isn't necessary and he wasn't on his way to anywhere else. Isn't that sweet?
I always get nauseatingly sentimental when I'm sick. *sniffle*
