at home, on fire

July 3, 2005

well, Neal and I were surfing for long lost high school friends and he mentioned a picture to me that I had not thought much about. It was taken a couple of years ago, and I thought it was neat that it happens to be the exact date as today ... only circumstances are much different. We were on our way to a family reunion not too far from where my folks live, so we stopped in to visit briefly. My Dad had recently undergone chemo and radiation (including a special study chemo drug that only a few hundred in all of Canada were blessed to receive and, consequently, only my pa received any benefit from) for cancer of the lung that had spread to the brain. We were all kind of prepared to loose him, but it seems God has other plans. We just saw them both last weekend when my brother was at their place (he had a high school reunion) and my Dad is still smarter than me ... even with the tumors! talk about being blessed ... and I mean me ...

Dad and my boys ( the big side effect from the chemo was that Dad lost a tooth ... too funny)
