 My dad has Parkinson's. I have to get on him to do his exercises, and not be half-assed when doing them. Sona mostly wants snacks. She and my dad are buds.

Coming down from a 7.14...hope it hangs out above a 7.

...this is a candid portrait btw. I picked the right time to walk into the kitchen with my phone in my hand... decisive moment, 2017 style.

Thanks so much for the comments and votes, much appreciated!

Masterfully caught with leading lines and the open door into darkness behind your father. The delicate detail of his hair, cat prints on the wall, and everyday items so familiar to us all. What a moment! Thanks

What a brilliant slice of life. The tilt is making me a bit queasy, but these two look like old friends.
