My Dad

Dad serving at Mass
I hadn't seen my dad for a week or so and decided to call him last night to tell him my granddaughter Carly and I would be joining him at Mass at his church.  Little did I know he would be serving.

My dad is the kindest, most loving, Christian man I know.  He is always there to lend a hand or tell a joke.  He treats everyone with patience, love, and respect.  He is the real deal. He lives his faith in everything breath he takes.

I know I've said this before, but my dad has a way to make everyone of his children (8 original), grandchildren (35), or great grandchildren (13) believe that they are his favorite.  And we all are, he loves us all, His face lights up whenever he is with his family.

A Father's joy is His children. I love you dad!

It has been five days.  The grieving process has begun for myself and many around me.  It's a  beast this thing called grief.  It attaches to or attacks each of us differently.  When my mother lost my sister Barb, she named her grief George.  I think I too will have a name for my grief.  I've been thinking about Clarence.  I always loved the character Clarence Odbody.    He was only doing what was right and tried to have a little fun along the way.  He kept things simple.  I like simple.  I won't mind if Clarence hangs around awhile. "Strange, isn't it? Each man's life touches so many other lives, and when he isn't around he leaves an awful hole, doesn't he?

Responsible

Responsible: having an obligation to do something, or having control over or care for someone, as part of one's job or role. I am responsible for many things whether I am at work or at home.  I don't always like it.  Sometimes, I do not want to be responsible.  I want to slack off or not care or just be the opposite of responsible.

Vaccine Day!

Image
Today I was able to get my 1st dose of the Pfizer - Covid 19 vaccine. Our county vaccinated 8,000 teachers in two days! It was very well run. I was in and out in less than 30 minutes including the 15 minute wait afterwards. It's been about five hours since and my arm is a bit sore now. I can't remember the last time I got a vaccine. Probably a tetnus shot. --- Those really hurt. Anyway, I'm glad to do my part to get this pandemic under control. As I look at my calorie tracker for the day: 1750 calories food and 59 oz. water.
