Some seasons in this life can be really hard.  Really sad to face.
Getting older is one of them! For the person getting older and also for the family around.

 My dad is only 70 but he’s having some difficult health problems lately.  He has fallen 5 times in a row (past 5 days).  He’s a bigger guy so its been kinda tough.  He always needs help getting up and the family is always there for him (the guys always help him up) but sometimes we have to call 911 or others to help.  Its gotten to the point that Mom can’t help with all he needs right now.  Tomorrow she is taking him to be admitted in the VA hospital in LA.  We are hoping they can run some tests and help find out if there is anything that can be done to help.

No one of corse wants this.  He doesn’t either, but knows its gotten to a point that something needs to be done.

I didn’t tell Luke tonight because he already worries about Pop (more than we realize I think).  He’s always been buddies with Pop so I know it will be tough for him to understand.  I didn’t want him going to bed worried.

Hoping and praying that we can get Pop some help.
