You know you are getting older when you get Power of Attorney papers in the mail from your parents. More specificially, I got them in the mail today from my dad. Which is a little weird anyways, not because I can't handle being the power of attorney, but because my dad and I are not close and have our issues.
Without getting into tons of details, I almost "univited" my dad and his entire family from my wedding because of some family issues. It's becoming even more evident that my dad will not have much an impact in my life through the next several years and probably for the rest of my life. So this is why I find it kind of funny that I have power of attorney. Although, i'm not sure who else he would even nominate other than my brother, but with the way his life is going that does seem very unlikely.
Anyway, this post is not to be down and out. I really don't mind the responsibilities, but the "wow i'm getting older" light bulb came on in my head today and I kind of chuckled, and then filed the paperwork away.

You know, my mom's dad and her sister were on the outs, but she is the one my grandpa had as his power of attorney type stuff. We always thought it was kind of wierd.
ReplyDeleteAnd as I am reading your note, Bob is declaring, we are adults, did you ever think that would happen? I found it ironic! (of course that is while we watch playhouse disnesy)
LoL well you guys are adults but it looks like once you have kids you tend to revert back to childhood a little lol.
