Today I am going up to the hospital to visit my father for the fourth time in 15 days. He is finally out of ICU but may have pneumonia. It's very frustrating, because it's hard to tell what we as a family could do differently, that would result in him healing and going home quickly.
Son #1 pulled me aside the other day for a conversation:
"So, Pop-pop can't walk around, or do anything much, right?"
"Right."
"He can't talk to you yet?"
"Nope."
"And you drive two hours up there and two hours to get home, right?"
"Unless I get lost in DC, yeah, then it's more like two-and-a-half, yeah."
"So you drive four hours, instead of staying here."
"Yes."
"Can he at least see you?"
"Yes, he can see me."
"That's an awful lot of driving, just to look at somebody
"Yeah, but you would do the same, right?"
"Oh, yeah, yeah, I would do the same."
This is how civilization is transmitted, I guess.
