My Dad

Everytime I go to a family outing or even to a friend's house, I'm constantly asked about my father's health. Even though he's at the same place, they'll ask me because they haven't spoken to him yet. He has quite a few medical issues as does my mother but his is more dire. They want know what is wrong and how he's holding up. Everyone is worried about him since he was a enlarged heart, pacemaker/defibulator, and diabetes. Is hard on him because he's a gotta get it done person and isn't use to having to take time out for him to rest. They also worry about him because of the stress my mom puts on him. Its hard for him to deal with both things at once. My family knows all about my mother's problems and realize that its hard for dad to put up with her but he loves her and hoped that everything would go by. Years later, it hasn't so he's taking everyone's advice and divorcing. For the last few years, my father had been brought up in many discussions with family members. They want to know what he's up too and how he is holding up. Sometimes I talk to them more then he does and other times he'll talk to the more. Many people love my dad because he's so easy to get along and talk to. He doesn't judge anyone until he gets to know them more. He's always joking around and having a good time despite his medical condition. Its one of the reasons everyone loves him. he helps out at the school a lot during marching band and winter percussion. Kids and parents alike enjoyed being around him. But even though they like him, they didn't at the beginning. My dad loves riding Harleys and wears Harley-Davidson clothing a lot. Many people didn't like him because he rodes bikes. They thought him as a regular biker. Many bikers are nothing but big teddy bears. The people at school soon came to realize that when dad started helping out around there.
