Growing Old



Dad, 
Do you remember all the times you told me not to sit so close to the TV or I'd ruin my eyes?   Well, guess what!  I still have pretty good vision.  It's the other things that are falling apart.  I'm developing horizontal and vertical lines that have nothing to do with the TV screen.  Rheumatoid arthritis?  I've decided to blame Mom's side of the family, so you're in the clear there.  Mom, however,  is wondering why it skipped a generation, since she's been relatively healthy.  I've since learned that having and nursing babies may help in not developing RA.  You did do your part in keeping Mom healthy.  Well done, Dad, well done.  
God did bless your love.
