Deafening Silence

Our usually over exuberant father is uncharaceristically quiet these days... one must wonder why the lack of inspirational thoughts? Why the collection of funds due to lack of posts hasn't been subtracted from our bank accounts? Could our color identity crisis Father be locked up in his study reading a book on how to be a 'true yellow'? Could he be working.... naw. Or could our father, often mistaken as a younger man, be wollowing in the realization of time. Time that seems to have slipped past him and onto his ever growing salt and pepper hair. It is true- our father/husband is turning the big 50 tomorrow. Funny how mom takes a picture to commemorate the occasion, whilst father is pretending it away. Or maybe he just wants us to focus on the day being Jessicas and Grandpas birthdays. Is that what it is? Well happy birthday Jessica and Grandpa, but this is not why we are gathered here today. It is dads last day 'young'. How has the ride been so far father? You will be 50- enjoy. The deafening silence will be a reality shortly. Your height will decrease inch by inch, but not your pants, those will rise and rise. You will be the grandpa shortly (no pressure Mel). Isn't is lovely? Happy Birthday father!
