Tuesdays With Pappo
May 16, 2024
One of the many things my Pappo is known for at his Independent Living Apartment is handing out kisses on the heads of all the women.
I've watched him go from table to table at lunch time kissing each woman on the head and telling them how pretty they are. They look up at him and smile....which then initiates a never-before-heard "giggle" out of him. It's such an endearing sound that pops out of him that it gives me a chuckle each time I hear it.
This week, we were headed out of his apartment to go to lunch when a woman I've not met before came down the hallway. As she got to his door, she looked him in the eye, leaned her head down and pointed to the top of her head. He giggled....she giggled....then he leaned down and kissed her on the head.
I simply can't make this stuff up.
She then went on her way to her apartment....happy.
These moments.....watching my Dad and his friends depending on each other for friendship, affirmation......and yes, giggles, does his youngest daughter's heart good.
As I headed the 1-1/2 hour trip home remembering my time with him, I also found myself wanting a kiss on the head from Pappo.....and I couldn't help but giggle.
