Wanna Hear a Funny Story?
"Hey Rich, wanna hear a funny story? I tell ya, you're gonna laugh," Dad says chuckling the whole time.
Of course.
"The husband travels a lot. hehehe. Let's go for a walk. Hehehe. Now we got Zack, and Zack decides to run.... Good thing I'm fast. You wouldn't believe how funny it was.... How's Tiff?"
"She's great."
"Oh good. You have to tell your darling wife. She'll laugh.... There's Zack running. You wouldn't believe how fast he came up on me. All the girls were 'bleh bleh bleh bleh'. That Zack. Good thing I can still run."
Yeah Dad, that is really funny! He's a little cutie, but he sure can slip away from you!
So... I thought he was setting me up for a joke. Then he told me the same story he told me last Sunday. It's not surprising in the slightest, I guess I'm a little sad that I sense he's deteriorating again. Maybe not, it seems to come in sudden spurts, quick erosion and long plateau. But he's laughing. He enjoyed it now. That's important.
