Dad Is Home

My dad is home today. I just went to see him. He looks better than he has in years. His color is good. He seems more alert and together. Scary that you can have blockages and not know it. He is definitely going to have to have a life change. He has to eat better and exercise. I told him that God wasn't finished with him yet and he needed to be obedient and do what the doctors told him. I told him that we have been blessed so much. God has given him many second chances this year. I think this was a wake up call!

Remember he is a
  • diabetic
  • prostate cancer and bladder cancer survivor
  • high blood pressure guy
  • diagnosed with Parkinson's Plus (although now I think all of his falling, being dizzy and feeling unbalanced was his heart.)
  • at one point we were told he had Alzheimer's. (Guys he doesn't have that because you don't wake up with it. The doctors have changed their minds on this.)
  • (and he was going to a cardiologist regularly.)

All along I think it was his heart. You have to take care of your spiritual (heart) and physical heart. My dad is a wonderful Christian man. Now his physical heart will fit that.

Hold your loved ones a little closer. It is all about people and relationships. Things don't matter. You can't take them with you.

So glad your Dad is doing better. You've been through so much this past year. It's good to see God carrying you through the tough times.

I'm so glad your daddy is home. I know your mom is too!

Maybe daddy will get on the right track with his exercise and eating right!
