‘GRATEFUL WEDNESDAYS’ – POST 9 " .........DANCE WITH MY FATHER..........."

I have not been able to spend any quality time with my father in a while because of the path life has been leading me.

For the greater part of last week my father was with me for follow up visits with his doctor, after his recent hospitalization. I was so busy making sure that my husband, my children and my dad were well catered to and started panicking at a point when it seemed I would not have been able to just sit with dad and talk. I was even jealous of my husband as he was able to do this on many occasions.

The opportunity came and did we chat. I found out how he and my mom met and when myself and each of my siblings were born. I even found out how the property which I came to know as our home, was acquired.
Very interesting story and I now feel particularly closer to my dad.

It is interesting how we wake up each day, not knowing how our day will turn out and I am extremely grateful for how that particular day turned out for me..........I got the chance to dance with my father again.

‘GRATEFUL WEDNESDAYS’ – POST 8 - CHECK YOUR PULSE.....

I once saw a quote which read “If you think you do not have anything to be grateful for, check your pulse. Today I am checking my pulse and feeling very grateful to be alive, despite these very challenging times.

I am also very grateful to be at a point in my life where I can support my siblings in taking care of an ailing parent. My Dad who was hospitalised recently has been with me since yesterday because he has some follow-up visits with his doctor. It is a lot of work taking care of my family plus my Dad, but it feels very rewarding.

Thanks to my super supportive husband who does not hesitate to jump in where necessary to assist. Love you so much for that and I am eternally grateful for you.
