Not So Well

Yes, I know that empty house feeling. I had it after my mother went home after visiting me for 9 months. I wondered once how it would be when my dogs were no longer here and got a glimpse of that empty house feeling that I'd experience. It's hollow and empty and cold. I hope your dad can come home soon, in good health. Hope the wife's surgery goes well, too.

Hi Grandpa Bob! I'm sorry to hear that your dad is still not doing well. I do hope that he get's well soon. I'm sure you miss him. I know how much he means to you. He will be back soon! I will say a prayer for him~

I understand that empty feeling. He has pretty well been constant there for a long time. I hope your wife did well and will be back soon to keep you company. My wish and prayer is that he get his strength back soon and return home.

yup do . Sending energies that this all works out for the best for your dad and for you to hang inthere with him. Doc may want to carterize the places that the blood cots come from sort of neat to wacth them do this

I'm sorry Grandpa Bob, I will you and your fmaily in my prayers. Yes, I experienced the "empty house feeling" every time a child moves out, expect this last time, within months of my third child moving out, my second child moved back in..

I was just asking about your parents in the other discussion, wondering if all was well with them. I am sorry to hear he is in the nursing home, but thankfully there he will get all the help and therapy he needs. Gosh do I know this feeling so well about an empty home, I have been feeling this for a while since the kids have grown up. My life was them and although they are doing oh so well, I can't help but miss the havoc while they were at home. I hope you father does well there and that all will be fine soon.

Bob I hope he gets better soon Do they know why this is happening, I understand that the House feels empty How did your Wifes Surgery go I hope all went well

I am glad that you are getting a little break. I hope he gets better, of course, but having seen my grandmother take care of my grandfather, I know you must have needed some time to breathe. I now watch my dad take care of my mother and long to be able to just give him some time to take care of himself. I hope you can recoup a little energy for yourself as well. : )

I know how you feel. My daughter moved out last year but it seems like yesterday. I get the empty house feeling sometimes but it is nice also at times.

After my little granddaughter stays overnight...when I get back from bringing her home and have had a nap..I get up and it's too quiet here! She brings so very much life into the house!

Oh grandpa bob, dear one I'm so sorry to read this about your dad. I do know what you mean about needing a break but not in this way. And I know how you mean when the house feels so empty too because of my mom being in the hospital for almost 2 months. Bless his heart and yours! Hopefully in the next day or two he'll be feeling a lot better with the antibiotics that he's being given. Please know that you and your dad as well as your wife are in my thoughts and prayers

Hello Grandpa Bob. Again, i am sorry to hear that he is has not recovered yet, and i am hoping and waiting for good news from the next doctor appointment. I have had the empty house feeling, when my girlfriend was in the hospital in February-March and i already had my foot fingernail operated and could not go to visit and see how she is as she was in a different city and i wasn't yet allowed to walk to much.

Hi, GrandPa Bob. I haven't been on MyLot in awhile. I am sorry to hear about your father. I was one of the ones that enjoyed your posts about your gardening and your dad, family and also the dog Buster. I will put your dad in my prayers and pray for a speedy and full recovery. I will be checking in to see how he is progressing. Be blessed.

For me so not bad but it is better to so well so taht you find ways you life more energy.

By the sound of your other discussion, it won't be long before he comes home. I bet the house does seem empty. I have my step daughter and her daughter living with me. It would not be so bad if they helped out with utilities. They also have stuff piled up all over my house. I say they are house apes, I have to see some humor in it. I am looking forward to having my house back to myself. But at the same time I know some part of me will miss having someone around. Its just a tough situation that I am in, its also been going on a year now. Enjoy the time you have now, your dad will be home before you know it.
