Poppy

"A man growing old
becomes a child again."

With the wedding came family and the opportunity to see Poppy. Last Sunday some of the guys gathered at Poppy's house for a visit. My dad had a special procedure done last January because he was choking.  After coming home from the hospital he went on hospice, stabilized,  improved,  lost a lot of weight (because he's on a liquid diet), and with the help of our caregiver his health is such that he's now off  hospice.  He's still on the decline, but hanging in there.  Everyone had a nice visit - an early Happy Father's Day to Poppy and all!  He's 85 years old, next birthday - June 11th - 86.
