Our Aging Parents


  • it's inevitable of course. we get to an age where our parents get older (hopefully they're still around), aren't' able to do as much for us, themselves, etc.
  • today i realized i did another little action that brings me out more independent of my parents, but also is an indication of them slipping into old age more: for my "Emergency Contact" on a form, i don't write down my father now, i write down my sister. wish i could write him down but he's getting older, not as able to do as much etc. i mean he doesn't really know how to fully use a mobile phone for crissake!
i know it's small but it's like for whom the bell tolls another hour on a clock. i know he probably won't read this for a while at least and i don't want to knock him, just part of life moving on i suppose.
