My mom's birthday

Day 1478 - a visit to my parents house with my son and daughter; how very special. And it's my mom's birthday so even more so. My dad's health news are not so good but I hope it will not become an issue. At this age things progress very slowly and that is a good thing. I have to admit its becoming difficult to see the slow decline and to realize that time is getting shorter. But this is the natural way of things and one is slowing down as a/he gets older; but its not easy to whittness. I am thankful for a wonderful day. I am thankful for the opportunity I still have to see my parents.
