Well, today is Father's Day which just seems comical and ridiculous, given light of my present relationship with my father. Let's see, shall I make him breakfast in bed? Well, I think I have to since he is unable to get out of bed, and anway, I've done it everyday for the past four days. I even have a little tray, that my sister, Candy, sent (trying, as ever, to be helpful).

Hmmm....Maybe I should get him some flowers...Oh wait, that's right I did that on Thursday, right after he'd gotten home from the hospital. Red roses for his bedroom and the living room. Stargazer's for the kitchen table.

Well, I guess at the very least I could write him a card. But I just can't imagine what I could say in a card that I haven't said all along, this week, while emptying his urinals and scrubbing away at those dentures....

I love you Dad! Happy Father's Day!

On a side note - I created a new category yesterday - My Mother I'll be adding to it periodically but to start, it contains a very long letter she wrote to my father on their wedding day. It is the story of their courtship, but if you look closely, you'll see a lot about all three of us.
