And it's also 24 hours after we received the devastating news that he has cancer.
Ironically, I was just discussing with a friend how our family has had a few years of great health and no sickness. In our family, this is huge.
We've had breast cancer, open heart surgeries, diabetes, Guillain-Barre syndrome...you name it, we've had it.
Dad has to go through some additional testing to further determine the best course of treatment and to see how insidious this bastard called cancer has been.
Please keep Dad in your prayers. Even I can't find the humor in this one.
Good health wishes to your dad.
ReplyDeleteRest assured he will celebrate 100 and more such bdays. Happy birthday :)
ReplyDeleteMay he recover soon! :)

Oh, sweetie. I'm so sorry. How is he holding up? How are YOU holding up? Write on paper "Stage 1. Treatment, DONE."...under the pillow. If you need anything or want to vent, you know where to find me. Till then, consider yourself enveloped in a bear hug.

Yeah, no laugher from this girl either. As someone whose had many people with cancer, I have one thing to say: Cancer sucks the big one. My thoughts and well wishes are with you.
ReplyDeleteThank you all for your love and support. It means so much.
ReplyDeleteLove, Chrissy
HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHRISSY'S DAD!!!

Happy Birthday, Mr. Chrissy's dad. He looks like a nice man.
ReplyDelete@Theresa,
ReplyDeleteThanks! Yes, that's what's such a bummer.
@C. Andres,
Thanks. He's the best, Carlos.
You know we can all see what a kind and loving man this is... Happy 80th birthday, and let's plan your 90th party now, because I have a feeling you're going to dominate and rule in this battle you didn't ask for! Go, Dad, go!
ReplyDeleteSpend as much time together as fits in your life. Companionship is the greatest gift.
ReplyDeleteHang in there, Chrissy. You guys can beat this thing.
ReplyDeleteHope the birthday bash was fun, though.
@Leah,
ReplyDeleteThanks. I sure hope you're right!
@Secretia,
You're absolutely right. I actually moved right down the street from them a few years ago so I'll have that luxury.
@DK,
Thanks. Yep, cake and ice cream always bring smiles!
I'm sorry about the diagnosis -- BUT a man with a parrot on his shoulder cannot come to much harm! Is that an Indian Ringneck?
ReplyDeleteYou hang in there!
@Beloved Parrot,
ReplyDeleteThanks so much. Yes! It is an Indian Ringneck. It's my sister's bird, Waldo. She comes and visits Papa.
Indian Ringnecks are very cool parrots.
