Really, finding oneself with nothing to do after an eternity of having no time for even the regular things can be tough on anybody. As much as the wishes your mom needs, your dad will need to be dealt with a lot of patience too. If he wants to get into some kind of a consultant's job, (many men at his age and position do), it may just be worth his time. Most often, its the idleness of the brain thats more frustrating for a retired person, than the physical slow down. As long as he keeps himself mentally occupied, this will be as enjoyable phase in his life as any other! All the best to your parents!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6976244.post-1123688833788494332005-08-10T08:47:00.000-07:002005-08-10T08:47:00.000-07:00hi.:)) im new to ur blog..liked it.. very touchin...hi.<BR/>:)) im new to ur blog..<BR/>liked it.. very touching..<BR/>all the best for ur mom..!hope and lovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18135603451114081505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6976244.post-1123679804378403302005-08-10T06:16:00.000-07:002005-08-10T06:16:00.000-07:00wow... thats a wonderful post.. and touching. the ...wow... thats a wonderful post.. and touching. <BR/><BR/>the mention of bottle in the end, made me smile :)AmitKenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14199841381017371074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6976244.post-1123655691347904752005-08-09T23:34:00.000-07:002005-08-09T23:34:00.000-07:00I'm speechless!!!Exactly same scene happened at ou...I'm speechless!!!<BR/>Exactly same scene happened at our place, when mom tried to discuss 'post-retirement plans", he got angry!<BR/><BR/>He always aimed for perfection, he never settled for anything less then perfect.
