my dad is 71
he's always had health issues so it's taken me awhile to realize that he's 71 and i need to start realizing how lucky i am that he's still around, made it this far

he had a serious health issue around when my second child was born
and lost a lot of weight
started taking the health issues more seriously

i talk to him now like every day, every other day
i just saw him last night

glad your dad is doing well and taking everything in stride
enjoy this time with him
