I completely understand. Over a few pints tonight, Dad and I were talking about my mother's health, which she has foregone to focus on him. I made a goal for myself that I can easily achieve, even if things go south and I'm needed to help with one or both of my folks' medical care.
Got to spend time with Dad over a few pints while we waited for dinner to be ready to pick up from the restaurant. 40 years ago today, he left his family behind in Ireland as he said "I do" to my mother. The man is a legend, and I truly believe it when he says he will think about dying at 104 in 24 years. 🤩
The bartender could use a lesson or two on how to pour a proper pint, though...
Happy Anniversary, and cheers to many more!
40 years ago today, my parents said "I do" and my dad began his life here in the States. He has now officially spent half his life in the US, after his first 40 years in Ireland.
Yesterday was so much fun. About 30 folks got together in Hinckley, IL to meet each other and hang out with Toolman Tim.
Old connections were refreshed, and new relationships were formed. There is something to be said about building your network over the internet. Yes, you may talk to someone every day, but seeing them in person, shaking hands, leaving with a hug - THAT is how you truly create the network and trust that comes along with it.
Now, Tim asked what our goals are for December 31, 2024. I shared mine last night and am sharing it here with all of you for accountability (and maybe some help/encouragement!).
