Light Flowing from PDX to Longview
I had every intention of blogging today to start my week off perfectly. But I can’t really concentrate on marketing technology (beyond my already scheduled work today) because my dad is in the hospital up north. He came down (pretty suddenly) with pneumonia, and has to hang out in the hospital for a couple of days.
I went up yesterday afternoon to see him, and to take my mom over to hang out with him, and it was really touching how much they still absolutely adore each other. I just can’t imagine one lasting long without the other. (He’s 86 and she’s 87… she’s pretty much blind, and he battles dementia; and I often joke that together, they make a pretty well functioning pair.) They’re inspirational to me in many ways. Seeing them in that hospital room together added another one to it.

I’m extremely grateful that my brother and sister-in-law both work at the hospital where dad is spending some time; so I know they’ll be able to check in on him. Meanwhile, I’m concentrating on light flowing from Portland to Longview… knowing that’s pretty much all I can do today to help make him better.
So there’s my blog. Sometimes they just don’t turn out the way you think they might. Huh.
Kinda like life.
Did you live in indiana when you were six and move to ohio some years later?
No… I have always been a NW girl.
…and to all who’ve wondered that I’ve not spoken with (thank you for all your good wishes!) my dad is well and back home again with mom.
Thank-you, I had a friend named jannet johnson in IN when I was 5 or 6.
how funny. i suspect there have been more than a few of us.
