Happy 50th Mom!

My dad is the best husband ever, probably because my mom is the best wife ever. She takes care of him so wonderfully, and my dad knows that.

So yesterday was her 50th bday, yes she's getting old, and my dad was so cute and didn't go to work and went and randomly bought her a new car. It's one of those new Ford Edges, which is rather cool actually. He had gone and taken her car from her work and traded it in for the new one and when she came out it was sitting there and he was in it with roses. How cute, right?

Later last night we went to a really nice restaraunt with some of the family as well, and then, once again, we were brutally reminded of the constant stuggle my dad goes through. We were walking to our table in the crowded restaraunt when my brother let go of my dad and he, my dad, trying to get around the table, leaned against a wall... THAT MOVED. I won't even go into the fact that you probably shouldn't have a wall.. that looks like a wall.. that is on wheels. That's so dangerous.

As you might could guess, yep, the wall rolled right out from under his weight and we watched in slow motion as he took one of THE hardest falls I have yet to have ever seen. He landed square on his shoulder. Like, full body weight. The sound reverberated across the whole restaraunt, seriously. Men from every table nearby rushed to his aid. I know I've said before that when things like this happen, you really do see the best in people come out. People are SO kind. At that time, I think I still had my hands on my hears and my eyes closed. I just cannot bear to watch anymore.

They finally got him upright and into his seat and the surrounding tables went back to normal when I looked at him directly across from me and saw his eyes well up with tears until he quickly tried to make a joke a pretend like it didn't happen. We were all so shooken up and he was so embarrassed that I'm not sure anyone really even enjoyed the dinner. I know I had a rash (which happens when I am upset or stressed) until half-way through the main course.

Today my dad got up, we got him dressed, and he went to work without even the ability to raise his right arm because his shoulder is now hurt too, along with all of his other injuries from falls.

Happy Birthday Mom.
