So…my Dad’s birthday is December 15 and my Mom’s birthday is December 14. This year my Dad turns 80 (sssshhhh my Mom isn’t too far behind him)!!!
Well…like I always say…I can’t make this up!!!
And here we go…..
Me: Daddy…you have a BIG birthday this year. What do you want to do?
Daddy: Nothing (giggle giggle)
Me: C’mon Daddy, give me some ideas.
(Meanwhile my Mom is trying to jump in…)
Mommy: I know what I wanna do for mine….I know…I know…
Me: Wait…Daddy has a big one…let him talk…lol
(Sometimes I feel like they are my kids…lol)
Me: OK…Daddy…really what do you want to do?
Daddy: Breathe
Me:(sigh..slight smile) Well…yeah…that will be nice.
(My Mom is bursting at the seams…raising her hand and everything)
Me: OK…OK… Mom….what do you want to do for your birthday?
Mom: Go ROLLERSKATING!!!!
Dad: (BLANK STARE)
Me:(lol) I’m going to work!!!
*** So…I guess I should purchase a full padded body suit, shin guards, elbow pads and helmet for my Mom ***
Years ago…I would tape conversations with my GrandDad (Pop Pop). Not for any particular reason except that I knew one day I would want to hear his voice again. He got a kick out of it. “What you want me to say? Why you taping me Baby Cake?”
Soon, it became natural. I guess an early version of a reality show…he would forget that I had my little cassette recorder going.
I had my Great-Grand Mother (Mom Sue) until I was 12. I was very close to her and tried to hold on to her voice…but it has faded. When I became an adult I wanted to make sure that I could hear comforting voices when I needed some comfort as a single woman finding her way.
I went hunting for these tapes today…ahhhh comfort soon come.
