Oh My Papa
Mar. 10th, 2011 07:41 amYesterday was my dad's birthday. He would have been 90.
When I spoke with Mom yesterday, it was a bit strange not having her mention his birthday. This time last year, Mom had all her faculties and we mentioned it during conversation. This is the first time no mention was made of it. I didn't bring it up as Mom was already having a bad day and she was very emotional.
Anyway, this will probably be the last year I mention Dad's birthday. I don't him to be like Elvis where years from now I'll say something like "Dad would have been 117 today." :-P
