I got out of work yesterday, and got home. Went to go look at houses that we might move to. My in laws met us at Super Wal-Mart as both of us are on a budget, and trying to stretch our dollars. My father in law god bless him is awesome. We are shopping and he is with me looking at tv's, and golf stuff. the sad part is he is 62 years old, and between my mother in law, my wife and I we have to keep an eye on him at all times to ensure he is close to one of us. If some of you don't know he has alzheimers. It just makes you forget about all the troubles you are going through in life. He came over today to get his haircut, and watched a little Dolphins football with me. He was playing with my three dogs, or I should say they were playing with him. He was having a tough time remembering there names and whether they were male or female. We are in the process of trying to find a house to rent in Carlsbad so we can help out more with him. No matter how tired I am or what's going on, when he is around he makes me smile and laugh. Please try to love your family, and be with them as much as you can. Life with family and friends is very precious. He loves to golf, and when I am not working six days a week any longer at the new job or moving, I am going to take him golfing, just so he can have fun, and not have any worries in life.
Great story, John, thanks for sharing. As sad as it is, it should make all of us appreciate what we have in our lives at this very moment, because you never know when it might all be taken away. Spend as much time with him as you can, your rewards in the end will be greater than you can imagine. If I lived closer, I would definately help you move, and definately play golf with you and your father-in-law. You are truly one of the good people, and I hope those around you realize what you mean to them. Haven't been around so much, started going to church, and trying to change my ways, and your story is definately uplifting. Church has definately given me a better outlook on life, and makes me appreciate things alot more.
Thanks bro. The moving part we are trying to make real easy by selling or giving away things so we don't have to move too much. I appreciate the kind words brother. I look at it as I am blessed with great people around me, whether it's family, here or at work. I try to enjoy everyday as I don't know when my last will be. I will have to dust off the clubs as it has been at least 6 months or so since I hacked away. Brother you are good people. Good to see you around.
