I talked to my Mom yesterday and told her I was blogging and I just sent a text to my sister-in-law to let her know as well. I started to text my Dad but have decided to phone and tell him about it instead. When I first thought about telling my family about it I honestly thought that my Mom would be the one who wasn't on board but she was actually very supportive. Now I'm kinda nervous to tell my Dad.
The one thing my Mom did tell me yesterday is that Dad has befriended an elderly lady at the care home. I guess she only speaks German and because of that barrier, doesn't have very many friends there - so Dad downloaded a translation app on his iPhone and has been having conversations with her via the app. I told you my Dad could start a conversation with anyone! The techie in me is so proud! Way to go Dad :-)
