Well, here we are...several weeks later and I'm getting ready to fly home for my dad's surgery tomorrow morning.  I'm wrapping up work for the week and feeling...hmmm, strangely at peace even though I have a to do list a mile long.  I won't be getting any sleep before I'm off to the airport.  So my lists are written and I hope that I don't forget anything that I might need. 

I was on the phone with my mom Saturday and she and I were both commenting on how this surgery just kind of crept up and we weren't really even thinking about it.  And then we start to think about it or are reminded of it and it's weird.  Wedsnesday is going to be a long day.  A day of waiting.  But I am thankful that I can go home to be there.  I am thankful that all 3 of us kids can be there.  I am thankful to everyone that is lifting us up in prayer this week.  And I'm thankful that my sister's letting me use her laptop while I spend all day at the hospital...she even joked that she's going to charge me $5/minute.  Got to love the younger siblings...especially when they're housing you for free!  :)
