But I know Dad is really slowing down and I feel that quality time is going to be less and less. It is a sad thing to watch your parent become the child. As one of the girls said, "We are making memories!" And I guess I am trying to get some more in.beckiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06400859161321357279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2038906502036348765.post-48400927988616301772008-03-11T19:44:00.000-05:002008-03-11T19:44:00.000-05:00Beckie,Your story is so bittersweet.

My Dad was the same...always wanting me to hear his new piano music (over the phone) and anything else he found interesting during his days. He would catch me off-guard sometimes and I'd be a little impatient. It's been a long time since I've received a phone call or visit from him as 12 years ago he suffered a major stroke and is now in a nursing home. So, treasure every moment, have patience, and keep writing about the fun you have.<BR/><BR/>MaryMaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02040099513110890878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2038906502036348765.post-22118670709222588712008-03-11T14:54:00.000-05:002008-03-11T14:54:00.000-05:00Beckie...your post made me smile and also brought ...Beckie...your post made me smile and also brought tears to my eyes.
