i dread the day i get the call one of my parents is seriously ill again.

we were all together for my sisters college graduation when my dad had his first heart attack. luckily the stubborn old guy has stuck around another 16 years since that day. and is in some really great shape for a 72yr old. still walks 2-4hrs a day in the mtns near their home. and was out there shoveling the snow by himself all winter.

i think my sister and i are going to get the old guy a snowblower for fathers day this year. coolest thing i have in common with him is my birthday falls on fathers day every few years. and i was born the day before it almost 40yrs ago. cant repeat that gift any time soon.

we still talk almost every week even with 1500miles between us and he is very computer savvy so we email all the time. mom on the other hand still has a typewriter on her desk that doesn't collect dust.
