this morning #1730.
this morning, we brought dad home from the hospital. set him up in the living room like a king. in his recliner right in front of the tv. a fully stocked mini fridge by his side. one of those sweet grabber things. he only had to get up whenever nature called. i made a joke about getting him diapers so he wouldn’t have to move at all. he didn’t laugh. emasculated. mom’s going to have her hands full with him. i stuck around until around 6pm & then returned to my place. back to work tomorrow. for the entire drive & the rest of the night, i tried to picture what a day in the life of my parents is like. how their lives have changed over the decades. what it’s going to be like for them for these next few weeks.
