Father’s Day is just around the corner.
I missed that very much.
I wanted to give him a call or text him some messages but I don’t want any family members to hear me talking to him.
The last time I called him was 2 months ago.
I am worried about his health since he had High Blood Pressure and Tinnitus .
My Dad Called Me Today
Coincidentally, as I was typing this post, my dad called me just a few minutes ago.
I was happy and worried when I had found my cellphone ringing.
It could be good or bad news. You just never know.
Dad said he called just to know how are we at home.
He said that he called because he missed me.
I was touched, almost burst to tears.
I missed my daddy too.
Although I am a mom of 2 kids, I still am a little girl in my daddy’s heart.
He said that he had not heard from me for a long time.
I apologized to him and explained my situation.
I preferred to keep my conversation with him in low profile.
How are you daddy?
Dad said that he is alright, not to worry about him.
He had informed me that yesterday he had went for a yearly medical checkup at the General Hospital with my mom who had stroke.
Dad and mom took a taxi to the hospital.
My younger brother is busy with work, no time to take a day off.
My dad do not wish to bother him, so he made the decision to take a taxi which is much convenient for him and mom.
Mom had to wear adult diaper because she had urine incontinence.
Dad said that his blood pressure reading was the usual; sometimes 130, 145 or 150.
Doctor said that it is alright for his reading to be that irregular due to his age.
My dad is 75 years old this year.
He claimed that sometimes his blood pressure shot up because he ate sodium related food.
He had the itch to eat those salty food sometimes.
Daddy knows that he shouldn’t but he said
“ Yah, you know, sometime, I just wanted to try a little bit. Don’t worry, I am alright. “
He said that he had to wait for his next appointment with the doctor to get the medical report results for both of them.
I told him to keep me inform about it.

Needed some advice
When my dad needed some advice on health issues, he always look for me.
I don’t know why he didn’t discuss with my younger brother about it but I am glad that he still looked up on me for advice.
You see, when he wanted to know:
He said ” No rush, just let me know your findings in text messages”.
He knows that I can find the solutions to his problems and worries through the Internet.
He doesn’t know how to use computer not to mention Internet.
Anyway, my younger brother didn’t give him any computer or laptop to use.
So, I will try my best to provide him as much knowledge as possible at the shortest time.
I can’t type to complicated sentences for him to understand.
Just short, simple and straight forward answers is all he needed.
Today, he gave me another task.
Check on whether Neutren milk is suitable for mom or not because she had stroke and diabetes.
I will check it out and let him know later today.

Do you missed your parents when you are married?
How do you contact each other?
Thanks for reading my rant post.

Your love for your Dad shows, immensely reading through this blog
My dad is not here anymore. He passed away 2 years ago. I missed his presence. I do think we need to keep in touch to our loved ones while they are alive.
@bestwriter/
thanks very much, your words were comforting to me.
@shavkat/
very sorry to hear about your dad.
yup, we need to keep in touch with our loved once since they are still beside us. Cherish them before they are gone. Too late to say anything then.
Thanks for your share

It's good to rant sometimes but when it regards parents it's better we be thankful for having them around so don't call it ranting. Anyway am just wondering how your parents ar3 dealing with yheir ailments without someone being there with them. Sometimes its so hard for them but they would rayher be quiet to avoid feeling like they are a burden to other people. You know when a parent is not well they would rayher suffer silently and not say anything. The best thing is to have someone there with them at least once in a while just to be sure that all is well. Phone calls may work once in a while but how long would it go for? They will get tired of it and decide that they don't even need any kind of help but that's not the truth they are probably just giving up and feeling neglected. When they are at that are group that can be very agaitated with small petty things.just take some time out and spend some time with them will make a lot of difference.
grown up men are children in the hearts of dad and mom because they have saved their babyhood prints on their mind screen that reminds them the children's childhood. Children and parents relationship are very strong because children are their production and day and night labor.
The warmth that parents bring to their children’s lives starts at infancy. Moms and dads of young children shower their kids with baby-talk and physical touch. These behaviors show the child that others are sensitive of their needs and that parents can be relied on for emotional responsiveness.
As a child grows older, he finds warmth in the parent-child relationship in other ways, specifically in receiving the fulfillment of his emotional needs, whether they be play or intimate conversation. Warmth in parenting can lead to a cooperative child, who is well-developed socially and emotionally.
Father-child interaction tends to be more intense, and through their shared activities children learn how to express and control their emotions with their fathers. By working together, mothers and fathers help their children develop their skills across the spectrum.

Parents are needed. Parents become a liability at some stage. When they depend on others for day to day necessities and start demanding it becomes difficult to take care of them. good day
