Last weekend Leah had 3 friends up to the cabin. Papa actually seemed to really like the girls. All 3 of them are very nice and for the most part, quiet...which is what he likes. He doesn't like heavy or loud people. Nothing against them, he just doesn't do well around people like this. Some people have figured this out and try hard to be much quieter around him....some have not. oh well...it's life.
The girls and I took Pops to the Aitkin Riverboat Days parade. He had a very nice time. There were a couple episodes but for the most part he enjoyed himself. When we got back we turned on the music and had a sing along and a dance party! He really had lots of fun doing this. He LOVES music, loves to dance. So uninhibited by anything. I love it! Just like a small child. My dad was never really shy so to speak, but not outgoing either. He did love to cut a rug back in the day and continues to!
Things are getting much tougher on my mom. Stories of hard times seem to be coming daily now rather than maybe once per week. This is not good. I try to wish it away but know that is not realistic. I feel bad for both of my parents. Find myself thinking back on the last 41 years of my life alot. Wondering, how in the hell did we get here???
Life is not fair.
I miss my daddy.
