It's been a hot minute…

It's been a hot minute since I've noted an update.

In short because I'm not going to be longwinded ... Dad made it through 6 months, almost 7, and mostly in good spirit. This past week was tough. Mom noticed some subtle changes in his behavior. Home health nudged her along the lines of taking him to the ER to rule out a stroke. We were at the ER all of Wednesday night. They found another mass in his brain that caused swelling. He's scheduled for another MRI Tuesday and a visit with the surgeon and cancer doctor.

He's in absolutely no pain and remains hopeful. I've been with them every chance I could get, mostly every weekend. I cannot emphasize enough that, if your parents are still breathing and despite the history, cherish their presence, make new memories to replace the old/bad, and live in the moment with them. Bless them with the heart of no regrets and feelings of unconditional love and forgiveness. Sow these seeds and you will reap them two fold. Our children are watching.
