Today is my dad's birthday, and it is hard to believe he just turned 80. I asked him if he felt like he was 80 and he laughed and said he thought he was 40 in his head! I can relate! I don't feel my age either!
I wish he was in better health. He doesn't take care of himself and he lives alone in another State. My brother does check up on him and see's him. He took him for a pedicure for his birthday a few days ago. I just wish I could make the situation better for him.
We spent most of the conversation talking about gardening. I told him what we have been doing at our house, and his dream is to get a porch the length of his house and to have it screened in, so he can sit outside. And have a container garden as well. I think that would be so good for him. Maybe he won't just dream it, maybe he will do it!
