Loneliness On The Sofa

Just talked to Dad. He still sounds rough but says he's feeling better. The sisters (mine, not his) are heading into town today and tomorrow from Austin and Connecticut. The former wife and I are going to see him tomorrow after work.

Hey! I'm headlining on the Sofa this week on Aural Delights no. 89. Blast off!

I'm glad to hear that your dad is doing better. Thanks for letting us know. I'll keep him in my thoughts and prayers for a while yet though.

Thanks, Church and Diane. Yes, this comment is really late, but it's here.

Jessica, I can't tell you how moved I am by your concern. From his hospital bed, my father asked me, "What will provide comfortable seating options for your family room and/or living room?" And I held his weak hand in mine and I cried because I didn't know the answer.

Now, thanks to you, I can tell him.
