Monday Morning Wake-up Call

Live & Learn37 Comments

Hello Peeps. Wally here. It rained all night tapping on the hood of Dad’s car. And I freaked when I found dad still in bed with me at 7:30 am.

“You sick Dad? I hope not.”

“No Wally … just Retired.”

I don’t like rain at all but love Retirement Dad.

Happy Monday!

Inspired by:

Don’t run any more. Quiet. How softly it rains On the roofs of the city. How perfect All things are. Now, for the two of you Waking up in a royal bed by a garret window.

— Czesław Miłosz, from “After Paradise” in “New and Collected Poems: 1931-2001 (Ecco, 2001)

Wally said that while he is grateful for the itchy and awful holiday sweater that Mom bought for him for Christmas, he has pleaded with me to write Santa and tell him that we can do better than this given how great he has been all year. We’re working on it.
