I was raised a Roman Catholic and I am a member of the Knights of Columbus. Every year during Lent, we celebrate the season through three different practices: 1. Prayer 2. Fasting 3. Generosity. This year my father and I have decided to attend Mass every single day during the 40 days of Lent.
It really is not as difficult as it may sound. The weekday Masses are only 30 minutes and Sunday Mass is one-hour long. More important, for my Dad, it is giving him a routine and he has an opportunity to meet with people closer to his age. We attend the 8AM morning celebration which allows us the rest of the day for other activities.
Yesterday, we went to Jimmy's for breakfast (after church). Just as we were arriving to the restaurant my Pop informed me that he had to go to the restroom (he urinates quite frequently). So he went ahead to the restroom, while I got a table. Ten minutes later, he had still not returned. I smelled trouble. I went to look for him. I passed a line of women waiting to enter the Women's restroom, and discovered my Pop was NOT in the Men's room. No, in fact, he had inadvertantly entered the Women's room.
Hence, the ladies waiting in line. I asked my Dad why he went in the wrong restroom, he said it was an honest mistake and that it was "no big deal" (in his reality nothing is a "big deal"). I apologized to the ladies, who all took it in stride and I made a mental note to never let him go to the restroom alone again.

Awww! This is so cute! I love my Tio Chuy! I thought you were gonna say that he was the center of attention with all the ladies, but this was even cuter!
I saw the Alzheimer's special on KPBS and it was wonderful! The show was very emotional in a bitter-sweet kind of way. I liked seeing the special bond between you two, the part where my tio calls you his best friend is very touching! You both looked very good!
Tu prima, Yria
