He does have plans to fix it up, but he ends up spending the money helping others. A good thing in some ways, but I'd like to see him taking care of himself for a change!<br />Awkward and Randomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01128210702881671974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3330472537925687545.post-3456256847253006592013-03-29T09:12:33.679-07:002013-03-29T09:12:33.679-07:00Sorry to blog on your blog: My grandfather, while ...Sorry to blog on your blog: My grandfather, while decent to us grandkids, was a real jerk to his own kids. My dad left home at 18. My uncle did the same. Sadly my oldest uncle stayed. He NEVER had a girlfriend that he brought home. SLAVED over the acres and acres of farmland my grandfather owned. When my grandfather died, the house was left to that uncle and he razed it immediately.

It's truly amazing, though, what both of our dads have sacrificed in their lives for others. It makes me proud, even if it also sometimes makes me sad.Awkward and Randomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01128210702881671974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3330472537925687545.post-50348560505421933702013-03-25T21:16:18.153-07:002013-03-25T21:16:18.153-07:00I wish he and I had had the chance to talk some - ...I wish he and I had had the chance to talk some - maybe I could let go of some bitterness.

The surgery took way more out of him than any of us expected, so it was mostly short visits at the hospital or rehab center between sleeping and PT.
