Sunday evening (5/15)
Took my brother to the airport this morning. It was a great boon to have him around, taking some of the load off of us in helping Dad recuperate.
Dad got pretty depressed last night about Boaz's departure, but he was in great spirits this afternoon when he called. His girlfriend took him up to Herriman State Park, where he managed to walk at a good pace for about 40 minutes! He was insanely upbeat about his progress, and called to let me know how great he felt.
In addition, he wanted to apologize for his darker moods in the past week. He said he realized that he was reacting badly to the situation that he's in, looking for someone to blame, rather than becoming an active participant in his recovery.
In other words, he was looking back more than looking forward. And, as I've pointed out in my other blog, all that looking back can really give you a pain in the neck. So let's toast new beginnings.
