Sick Dad

Wow, my dad woke up this morning with all of his joints and bones aching. He thinks he is getting the flu. So he departed to the Berkshire house. It must have been hard for him to drive all that way feeling so crappy. I appreciate that he left though because it would really suck if I got sick. I think it might mean that he will be away for my birthday. It makes sense because it is not worth it for me to get sick but I worry he will be lonely and isolated. Also who will take care of him? I think he prefers to take care of himself. Hopefully that is the case.
