Dad's gone home ...

Well Dad's gone home now. We took him to the train station about 40 minutes ago and he should be in the outer suburbs of Melbourne by now.

I tell you he was so peeved with the boys behaviour. He said his nerves were bad the other day because of their fighting. They were so bad he had to go outside to get away from them for a few minutes. I know these two can be a handful but I would hate for him to say bad stuff about them to the rest of the family.

All in all though I think it was a good visit. We didn't take him out as much as I would like but I did notice that Dad slept loads in the rocking chair so he probably would've been to tired to go out more often anyway.
Dad didn't say too much about the Church while he was here and Mark and I did become 'missionaries' in a small way. So at least he wont have a bad impression about Mormons any more. (I hope).

I guess things will be going back to 'normal' now and we can all do our own thing like we used to. Even though I didn't spend a lot of time online while he was here I didn't really miss it too much. The only thing I missed a bit was playing with PSP but I didn't miss it that much lol.

I did realise one thing after Dad got onto the train. This was probably the last time he will be coming to visit. He will be turning 79 on Sunday & I don't expect him to travel to see us anymore. Plus after the way the boys behaved he may not want to come back!
