Wes Thorp
Dearborn, Michigan
I’m a 73-year-old life long learner who’s trying to learn to deal with the last part of my life. I don't have a Bucket List. Is that an advantage or disadvantage? I want a real personal relationship with Jesus Christ and I want that for my wife, my kids and grandkids.
Interests: I'm a lifelong learner. My curiosity abounds about everything. The role that mothers and fathers play in their kid's lives. How toilets work. How a three-way switch works. My death. What happens right after you die?
How do we know that Jesus was a real person? How to tell a story that people want to listen to?

I remember when I pinned a "bruised reed" on my oldest grandson just before we left Croatia
I was saying goodbye to my then four-year-old grandson at the Split, Croatia airport when I pinned this on him. I tried to tell him in a pre-schooler sort of way what it meant. And then I pinned it on him and said "don't worry" if you lose it. I had more, I told him. Then I read the devotio...
Thanks man.

Here’s why we decided to move out of our comfort zone as senior citizens
We did it. We made a major move as senior citizens to another part of the state. It’s the second move in two years. Why did we do it? Where did we move? For my wife and I, we did it for several reasons: Part of our immediate family lives in Dearborn where we purchased a condo. Our daught...

MY PARKINSON'S REPORT: I feel tremors inside of my head
In the almost four months since i've been diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease, it has been a wild ride. My gait has changed dramatically with steps requiring me to concentrate on going "heel-toe" for each step. Not only that. I now walk with a walking stick that my grandsons seem to enjoy us...
Lauren—Thank-you for the prayers and the encouragement. Also, thank-you for being a great boss and even better friend. Wes

This is going to be a journey, for sure. My knees are knocking a little from the fear of the future. I'd be happy to just keep the vision I have now. To stay sane about all this, I'm going to try and write about the whole experience.

How do you prepare to lose your eyesight?
Getting the word about my vision My loss of vision has become very real. What's the challenge now? That's what I learned at my ophthalmology appointment yesterday. Right now, I'm facing the question in the title of this blog post. How should I prepare to lose my vision? Yes...
