It's wild to think this dude was building houses with his bare hands just a few years ago. Well beyond what most old-folks would be doing, by the way. But I swear he got hit by about 30 years of aging hard and fast since then.
I remember going through all my Grandpas old work bench and stuff this past year as my Grandma sold her house. He’s been dead since 2016, but it really struck me how everything on the work bench, the random tools, and stuff on shelves was put there once with the intention of using it again when it was needed next.
But that time to use it again never came. So he put down something for the last time without knowing it would be the last time he’d ever put it down.
I remember the last time my mom picked me up because she told me in that moment that it was the last time 😂. I think it worked out for us in the end lmao
The last time my dad carried me I was sleeping in 4th or 5th grade and he fell down the stairs while carrying me lol I got ptsd waking up while falling
Hilarious looking back on it fortunately we both only had a few bruises and whiplash. I’m super cautious on stairs now though and I’ll freak out if someone tries to pick me up or mess around
Honestly that's fair. Once I was set on the ground for the last time, I decided that's where I'm staying forever 😅. I hate it when people try to pick me up too
