Daddy, make a picture

Long day. Jeremy just stood up in my parent’s living room and said “I think I’ll go to bed now….”

And that was that.

So I’m here on the couch next to sleepy boy who’s on the air mattress. Two of us in the tiny den of my parent’s retirement home. I’m sleeping on the couch of my parent’s retirement home - I’m truly 40 now.

My Grandfather seems to be doing alright. He finally looks like a 99 year old man. That might sound a bit odd if you don’t know my Harry. Until a few weeks ago he was more like a man in his late 70s who just happened to look older than most. And just like that he’s stuck sitting in his chair staring at the TV, a full time live-in aide to take him to the bathroom and a walker and a wheelchair and he’s wondering ‘when the hell did I turn 99? what the hell happened?’
