Struggling Well With Life

So very grateful for a father, a dad, who at 84 is still a man to be admired, and a model of manhood that still humbles his five boys.  One of the greatest romances I have witnessed was between he and my mom.  He loved her well.  And in her last few years, my dad who had been “taken care of” his entire married life, learned to cook, clean, write checks, and care for a woman who physically could no longer do that for herself.  Stroke riden and in a wheel chair, he lit up when his bride entered a room.  The old man is still teaching me what it looks like to be a man, to love well, and to enjoy everyday.  84 years old, and still parenting sons, still dad.
