Weekend visits...

I ususally go to see Mom and Dad on Saturday's. If I have Daughter that weekend, then she will come along. This Saturday was no different. Except when we walked in to the house, there was Dad sitting in his same old chair. The music was playing loudly. He was reading the newspaper. I just stood there staring. It was as if the whole year the we just endured had never happenned. Except for the feeding tube and the pole holding the feed, I could have sworn the old Dad was back.
We spent a nice afternoon with my parents. We had lunch and then Mom went to church with my Aunt. We stayed with Dad, I gave him his meds and feed at 5:30pm.

One thing to note, one of his sisters called and left a message. Dad knows when the phone rings. He knows who leaves a message. My aunt called my brother to tell him her calls were not being returned. My brother promptly goes to see Dad to find out why he hasn't called her back. The fact is, he doesn't want to speak to her he says... "she talks crap". I think alot of it has to do with the way she and her family treated their Mother who was living with my aunt. At the time my grandmother found out my cousin was drinking a lot of wine in the basement. When confronted, my cousin told my grandmother to get out of the house and proceeded to make her leave. Neither my aunt or uncle tried to resolve the issue. My grandmother ended up leaving and staying with my father and mother until she was able to get into a seniors building. My grandmother had to get a job making sandwiches to make ends meet. So Aunt, it's not because my mother is preventing my Dad from calling you, he just thinks you are "full of crap". You are a hypocrit. You claim to be a devout Catholic and yet you have treated you mother and brother without respect. Look at your own family and see how your daughter got her husband. His ex-wife tells a very different story about your lovely daughter.

We all have nasty little secrets, don't we.
