Baby clothes make me cry now, apparently.

And so does the health of my dad. He's 81 years old (I came along late in his life). He's my hero. He's the most supportive, caring, strongest person I know.

Dad has poor health. He has Parkinson's disease (gained undoubtedly from years working at a mill) that is slowly eating away at his health. He broke his hip a couple of years ago and after a replacement suffers from pain and arthritis. His health is is a downward spiral due to age and those issues.

My mom told me this morning that he is hallucinating.

He is my biggest reason for my hurry to get pregnant. I would be calmer about how long it has been taking if he were not in such poor health. I want dad to be able to meet his grandbaby. I want that more than I can say.

I don't think my dad has long enough time left in this world to get the chance. He outlived the doctor's expectancy for him quite a few years ago.

Sigh. I just hate this.

Thanks for letting me vent.

I am so sorry to hear about your Dad. I know it's gotta be hard. I am a Daddy's Girl still at 30 and while not as bad as your Dad's health my Dad is suffering health problems too (He's 65) and it kills me to see him in that way. I know for you it's worse cause you are wanting to give him a Grandbaby and fear you won't. I Hope and Pray that you can give him that soon and that he continues to go beyond the Dr's expectations.

Just remember that no matter what he will know your baby. My mother died in 2004 i did not marry until 2008 so my mother will never meet my child here on earth but i have no doubt that she will have met my little angel long before i ever do, in fact i hope she is with my baby now getting it ready to come and live with me!
Stay positive. There is reason for everything!

Thank you! I hadn't thought about it that way. That is true. He would get to know my baby very well and before me. He would get to hold the baby and everything.

Thank you!
