Eureka! - In the name of Thiago - Day 34
Eureka – Day 34
What a fucking day.
Amidst all the misery and gloom and generally huge swathes of depression, there
is always hope. They can never take that away from you.
And so it was that
after years of never really properly speaking to each other that today, my dad
and I got somewhere. I’m not going to say more than that on here because well
frankly there’s some shizzle that has to remain in house. Let me say this
though. I love the old bastard and the old bastard loves me back. That’s not a
bad start I reckon.
In all this time of
enlightenment there’s one person that deserves more credit than anyone, and
that’s my absolutely sensational wife Angelica.
Angelica has spent her
whole adult life caring. She has cared for adults with dementia, she has cared
for adults and young people with learning difficulties, she’s cared for retired
naval officers, (some of the most polite people she’s ever worked with) and she’s
cared for young people and babies, including our own two wonderful children.
And now after all this
caring, she’s still giving everything of herself and her time to looking after
my Dad. I’m asking myself how on fucking earth has she got anything left to
give because frankly I’m broken. Well I tell you what, she’s given me a level
to aspire to and though I’ll probably never be able to match her Herculean
levels of compassion, I shall endeavour to be a lot less of a dick. Baby steps
and all that.
Our home is a happy
place tonight. Dad has got a lot off his chest, (which was much-needed), Elisa
is really looking forward to a night out with the Lithuanians and Angelica is
going out on the smash with a bunch of drunken nurses.
I shall be heading up
the Dick Turpin (the Dickie as it’s known colloquially) with Elisa to meet my
friends Mindaugas and Kristina and their two daughters Elze and Morta very soon.
They are wonderful people. Elisa loves to spend time with the girls, who are all
very similar in age, and that enables the adults to have peace of mind, and well
crack on!
So I shall crack on if
that’s all the same to you ladies and gents. I believe it may very well be beer
o’clock, (puts Leave them all behind by Ride on Spotify and begins his work). Hurrah and hizzah!
