Dad has severe back issues and looks as if he might be in a wheelchair from now on. It is a bit unclear as I didn’t speak to the doctor but possibly a collapsed vertebrae causing nerve damage. He has gone from the most mobile resident to the most restricted in a matter of days.

i am really feeling the distance now he lives near my sister

Aloha All 

Hi, Albert.    

[Headstall]

Hello, all. Have a great day.  

[Albert1434]

Aloha Gary did the son show up?

No, Albert, but I talked to him on the phone.   He's working a lot, but might come next weekend for a drive-by visit.

Yesterday was the 33rd anniversary of my father's death. He would be 101 if he were still alive today.

Here's a photograph that was taken in 2013 of his eight children stood beside his grave. His age shown on the headstone is incorrect; he was actually 69 when he died.

 

Notice they stuck you way in the back.

I can understand the frustration with being a distance away. When I'm at my home in PA mum is over 600 miles/965km away and when I'm with her in SC dad is the one out of reach.

Hahaha...

We deliberately put the ladies in the front row.

Coming along nicely, thanks.

The lawn could do with a cut, but we had rain overnight and the grass is still damp. Hopefully it will be dry tonight and tomorrow.

Today is another hot one. Currently at noon it is 87/30° but the 62% humidity makes it feel like 94/34°. We are under heat advisory until 8pm this evening because the forecast is for heat index of 100/38°+. Additionally we've been placed under a severe t-storm watch until 7pm.

No, young Albert.  

I am, I can assure you, 100% male.

I agree with Tim. I've been enjoying the story too.

And leaving some great comments.   I'm not leaving comments, because I've edited several chapters ahead and I'm afraid to make spoilers.

Thanks for the heads up, Tim. Just read the first chapter on foot of your recommendation. Definitely looks good.

I bet you can relate to the old cottage parts  , they did make me think of you too - I thought you were already reading the story, or I would have included you too in my plug for the story.

I think the following key on your keyboard might be faulty, Gary...

To be honest with you, I very seldom read a story on GA until it is shown as Complete.

But I'm willing to make an exception for this one.  

[Albert1434]

Tim what's the full title of that story?

I'm not Tim, but you'll find it here, Albert:

It was maybe the fact that Tim said that the author is called "Brian" that threw you, Albert (as it did me at first). He writes on GA using the pseudonym @lomax61.

I decided that, in view of certain people's recent comments, I should perhaps share the following with you...
