We take for granted many things in life. We are all guilty in some way of this. I try to remind myself when I start to do this in my own life. It happens. We get busy. We get preoccupied with our events in life and before we know it...time passes and we are older.
This past week, I visited a nursing home while I was substitute teaching and could not help but to think of my Grandfather who recently passed, and my father, who passed almost 2 years ago.
I wonder what my Dad would have been like as an old man? Sadly, I will not get a chance to see that. My Grandfather, frail and ailing in his last month of life, was probably pretty close to what my Dad would have looked like.
Part of me is thankful that my Dad did not have to endure the nursing home route, etc. The other part of me wishes he could experience growing old.
Just a little bit of points to ponder.
