Today I was thinking of my father. He is at home now with my mother. I speak with him but it is hard. He is not a man of many words but I know it is important to talk with him. I know he enjoys it but does not express it. Sometimes he is with it and sometimes not at all. Makes me wonder about his recovery process as he did have a huge surgery. It will take a while. I speak with my family a lot but I still worry because I cannot see and judge for myself.
The other thought kicking around in my head is my brother-in-law John. His birthday was yesterday and he turned 45. I sent him well wishes of course but then was thinking about him. I met John back when I was 20 and worked at Building 19 with my two sisters. I am not just patting myself on my back but everyone knows I was endowed with the personality factor in my family (among other things wink wink). So I was actually friends first with him. Even way back then John was a great guy so I introduced him to my sister and the rest is history. That's all great but what I keep thinking about is that John has now been in my life for over 25 years. For more than half our lives we have known each other and I am still so glad I know him and that he is my brother-in-law plus dad to some of my wonderful nieces and nephews. So I was thinking about this and sent him a message to let him know. It is important for me to say things like that. Well a few moments later my sister called me wanting to know what the hell I did now. I am sweet but we all know I have a mischievous side. Well John is a big softy and it seems I made him cry. Ah, he is silly albeit a good man. And there is another reason for me to say I am a lucky one!
