Time waits for no one!

My dad has a new home hospital bed that Eli had to check out. He asked my mom about it and she told him that Pops was sick .Eli added, "because he's old like you, and yall are going to die soon". My mom jokingly asked if I could start visiting alone.

blast from the past

When I was 5 my sisters dressed me up like Shirley Temple and told me to do a song and dance for my dad's boss who had come over for dinner. Tonight while the repair man was at our house, Eli comes out dressed in a Mickey Mouse costume, waving and saying " Hello everybody". I now have a glimpse into my father's life.
My dad was so embarrassed that he kept calling me "that neighbor kid".  He told my sisters to take "that neighbor kid" home and find James.
I just laughed at Eli :-)
