Stopped in and visited with Chuck today. He was doing well. Had just finished lunch and was hanging out in the big room. Was very happy to see us, gave us all big hugs. He recognized Bryson, as someone he knew, but didn't know his name. Asked Bry, "How long has it been?" He then told Bry to give him another hug, since it had been awhile. Knew the rest of us, just wasn't quite sure how. His pants were falling down, didn't have his belt on. We walked down to his room, and the buckle had broken on his belt, so it was just laying on the couch. Fred fixed it, so I put on the belt and pop said that was much better. Opened the blinds and he sat in the sun on the couch. He was in a talkative mood - talked about the winds they had up there the last few days, and then rambled about just everything. Looked good, was starting to get tired. We hung out for a little bit, and he was really starting to droop. He said he was ready for a nap, so I tucked the blanket around him. Kissed his forehead and told him I loved him. He gave Fred and the boys a big hug, too. On the way out the door, told him I loved him again, and he said "love you too". It was tough to leave him today, for some reason. He is definitely content, and just such a cute little man now. (Never thought I would refer to my dad as a little man - or cute.) It was good to see him.
As we got closer to the desk, Stan and Skipper were standing there, and Skipper reached around and pinched his bum. I figured he would do something, but he didn't do a thing, just kept standing there. We did pass Sam, who turned 95 yesterday. His daughter was with him, and she lives in San Francisco. Says she comes and visits every 2-3 months. Pretty quiet today, compared to last week.
Just talked to mom about 8:00. She went down to dad's this evening, and they couldn't find him. James, the aide, went room to room. Found him sound asleep on Susan's bed. Susan was out wandering the halls, as usual.
