When did my father get old? It seems like just yesterday that he was playing ping-pong at family gatherings. Why, he'd even join in a game of volleyball once in a while. Now, all of a sudden he seems so much older. He falls fairly often and with each fall he has less mobility. He used to drive everywhere. It made him so proud when he renewed his license when he turned ninety. Ninety! It's hard to believe that he's ninety. He hasn't driven his car in over 4 months now and he's at the point where it doesn't look like he'll drive again. He used to go for walks every day too but now it's difficult for him to walk around the house. He's using a walker to help with his balance. It's hard for me to watch him moving so slowly and in so much pain. I'm at the age where I'm starting to look ahead. Is that my future too? I only hope I can stay healthy as long as my dad has. Love you Dad!
