When you travel, especially to see family or friends whom you have not seen in a long while, what is your anticipation of the ‘welcome’ you will receive? I live more than 1000 miles away from my Father who turned 96 years old yesterday! However, I’m delighted to say my Dad is here in my home for a few weeks and it’s very special to have him here with my wife and me. Dad is nearly blind and at 96 not as spry as he once was, but his mind is sharp and we’re having those wonderful conversations we both had anticipated.
