Tomorrow is my dad's birthday. So in honor of his big day, Greg, Lily, my mom, and I had dinner at mom's house tonight. The meal was delicious, we took a walk down memory lane looking at old pictures, and I think the grandparents just enjoyed being around Lily.
As my dad creeps towards the big 5-6, I am reminded of all the things that are lost as you grow older. First the hair goes. I think the quizzical look on Dad's face was simply him asking the question, "Does Lily have more hair than I do?"
Then the eyesight goes. Hey Dad, when you try your "smoky cheese oolong" you'll have to let me know how the smoked cheese hits you! :)
Then the mind goes. Not that this is the case with my dad, but there were a few "senior moments" that gave us all a chuckle.
And finally all you want to do at the end of the day is sleep like a baby! Lily's got you covered on that one.
We love you and Happy Birthday!
