My parents [journal] Today my dad gave me this goofy toothless grin (four of his teeth were pulled recently). it was funny at first, but then i realized my father--once young, strong (okay never really that strong), and alert--was turning into a senior. my father has a semi-morbid sense of humour, so accordingly he joked about how he didn't have much longer to live. upon refelction, it's not very much of a joke is it? more like a statement said with nervous laughter, but not very funny whatsoever.
I've been living away from home for the past five years. in september i'm going to school in buffalo, but i decided it might be better to stay at home. schools in buffalo are expensive so the idea was to save money, but now i think i wanted to spend some time with my family, more than i have been.
