Dad

It’s such a shame, you know? My dad moved all the way from Indiana, practically crossed the entire country to be closer to his kids and grandkids, and now, here we are, just a mile away from each other, and I haven’t spoken to him in three years. And to think, after all that effort, he’s been reduced to living in some retirement home, because he can't even take care of himself anymore. The irony isn’t lost on me. My dad spent his whole life trying to make things work, only for it to all fall apart in the most unexpected ways. Classic, really.
