What a roller coaster. In a few days, I went from wondering if this was goodbye, to teaching my dad how to use an iPad.
He is making an amazing recovery. Everyone in the ICU is talking about it. The day before yesterday, my sister went to lunch and for a little retail therapy at TJ Maxx, and on our way back to the hospital, I saw this on my phone.
I had a voicemail from my dad.
Of course, it was an iPad question.
But you guys, I had a voicemail from my dad.
This is one of those little things I thought may be over.
This little thing blew my mind. I love my dad. I wasn't ready to say goodbye. I'm just one in a whole team of women who will help him work his way back to life.
It's going to be a long road, but he is back and we are committed.
I am so profoundly grateful for more time. And that we live here in town so I can help him.
My dad has helped me with a million things over the years.
It's my turn.
Cheerfully.
Thanks be to God and thank you to all of you who prayed for him, supported us, and wished him well. Please keep the prayers for Charlie Brown coming!

Amazing <3 beyond happy for you
This is so simple and beautifully written. Parents are the internal part of our life! they have always been there for us. We should be returning the favor however we can.
I'm very happy that I found your blog. Charlotte
