Today I had a weird experience while at Kings Place. Something like this has happened in the past but the events of the last few months have just made things more real. As some of you know another part of the chaos in my life this spring has been my father's medical issues. On March 9 he had a mini stroke which was alochoal induced. They figure this was the final one that really did some damage. Over the last year he had slowly been going down hill. Small things like paper work changes and moods swings and even personal hygine went downhill. He was very confused for a few days and spent 3 weeks in the hospital detoxing and getting some weight on. So right now the main part of his problem is short term memory and confusion at times.
Back to Kings place. So I got off the bus and was walking down the hall and I saw many men my dad age just wandering around not knowing where they were or why they were there. Hopeless, lost and confused. I felt such compassion for them, I was in tears right there in the mall. All I could think of was if my Dad didn't have my Mom that is what he would be like.
It seems like with all these things I am trying to keep together my emotions are on my sleeve. I have a good friend who has said just again on Monday that he is amazed at how I am keeping myself together with all these MAJOR life crisis happening all at once. One of these things is hard but to have 4 all at the same time.... Man without God and the support of a few really good friends I would be sunk!
So that is part of the chaos in my life.
