Talk about your father or a father figure in your life.
20221220-2208. Well he is an elderly father and he is stubborn and foolish enough to believe mainstream media without doing his research on why certain topics seem to repeat: Covid, lockdowns, politics, vaccines, and sports.
I admire my dad for his discipline and simplicity, never really giving into controversial topics or anything far-fetched like the big lie, which was the 2020 election steal or saying bad words like me or raising his voice or fist in anger.
No. My dad is a quite stubborn old fool. His astrological sign being that of a strong-headed bully bull, a Taurus more specifically. Someone who is fixed and never changes, from his eating habits of three meals a day with breakfast consisting of LOTs of bread and drinking only bottled water from the water store.
He also exercises everyday, jogging in the backyard about 20 minutes and stretches and simple exercises indoors and on his OLD plastic woven mat or “banig”, which has been starting to shred apart from usage of over 30 years.
He takes his sweet slow time to process ANY activity from his morning routing of making his bed, cleaning his CPAP accessories, and washing up for breakfast. Gardening too takes forever and with his age the time has taken much longer to finish both front and back yards free from freshly cut grass, and sweeping dried sycamore leaves blow from the northbound wind onto the public gutter and onto our grass after skipping over the sidewalk and squeezing past the Montgomery chain link fence.
Yes, my dad has a VERY loud voice when excited over a touchdown – once in a while but no more to little more than a peep while his eyeballs are glued to the television which I had hoped that he would throw away and save on monthly cable bills! But no he hs nothing else to do and nobody else to converse with.
That’s my dad. A worn out military man talking about his “abuse” suffered as a steward and after serving 20 years has had enough with drama and does NOT care if others are upset and he himself does NOT get upset if others are triggered!
That’s how I’d like to be – oblivious to the drama that should NOT affect one’s state of mind, peace, and happiness. It’s like he had quit being so “manly” that being some sort of soft-spoken guru with all the wisdom of the world is never enough to please the more rowdy personalities who feel the need to keep active, which is in fact, nothing more than just a distraction, a way outta of pain and suffering in whatever circumstances of an otherwise awful like.
Yeah, he is a father who has been through much and now has a hunched back from hurting himself while gardening. As we all slowly fade away, it’s my hope this free writing hit piece inspired those NOT to talk so bluntly about their loved one, lest THEY be offended! But I should NOT tarry so as if NOTHING bother him so should my care rest in peace.
That’s all. FlynnsPaws.
Hello Flynn, nice, and good luck!
