Parents

Ive spent the past week tending to my 74 year old father with some serious heart issues and a 71 year old mother with replaced knees. Both are struggling with extra weight, a previously active lifestyle, hopes and dreams that are difficult to let go and bodies that are playing crueltricks on them.  Its exhausting and enlightening at the same time. I have fantasies of stepping off a cliff to avoid the sadness and disapointments of growing old. I keep thinking that Im not ready for them to go through medical issues, but then who is?

I have my loud little doggy ambassador with me, he is such a good travelor. I think he is missing Mayzie, someone to boss around. Three more boring days of meetings in Tigard, then home for one night and two more days of boring meetings, what a way to end ones summer. Ugh.
