Sorry to say, I have nothing remotely funny or creative to say today. Apparently, we jumped the gun with our excitement over Dad's prognosis. We met with the oncologist and it's a far graver situation than we imagined.

As I mentioned, my father is the most optimistic person I know and it was devastating to see the disappointment in his face when the doctor gave us the news. Being the overly sensitive wimp that I am, I made an excuse to leave the exam room so I could compose myself and not let him see the tears that I just couldn't stop from coming.

If we ever needed a miracle, now would be the time.
