My father nearly died yesterday.  He's 82 years old next month.  He
lives at home in Mansfield, a country town in Victoria, Australia with
my mother.  They are self sufficient but dad has really slowed down
since he turned 80.  His health has been up and down over the last
couple of years and we've thought he was gone for sure more than once.

He had a fall last week injuring his chest.  He then got a lung
infection and ended up with pneumonia.  He was confused and
combative in hospital and yesterday he was not good at all.

Once again, he has rallied and is quite a bit better today.  He told
me that he woke up this morning and decided he was going to survive.

I love him.  I told him that.  I never really have before.  I should
do it more often.
