I went to the eye doctor today. I have an eye disease that causes blindness, so this was my yearly exam. Anyhow, the news was not entirely good. Later in the evening, I called my dad. We talked about a few things, then I told him about my eye. Instead of expressing concern, even fake concern, he instead continued to talk about what he needed. Finally, I said, did you hear what I said about my eye. His response, "I don't have time to think about somebody elses problem. I got my own problems.

Now, I'm made of thick material and God knows I've seen my share of selfish people. But selfishness has always bothered me. I think a person should at least try to pretend to care. It's just what's done. It's politeness. It's manners. I've had 55 years of asking my dad how he's doing and never hearing the same asked of me. Incredibly selfish. Just incredible.

Thanks for listening to me vent. So, back to the real world and the one who loves me most: God. I'm totally okay.
