Katie and Cina for getting up at what-the-hell o-clock this morning to keep my mom and me company during my dad’s surgery. 🙂

That my dad’s surgery went so well! It was shorter than expected, they only had to take out one lobe, the early pathology suggests the cancer hasn’t spread, and Dad looked great afterward. Hooray!

All the love and support we felt from folks calling, texting, posting on FB, visiting, and checking in throughout the day. We are lucky to be surrounded by such generous, loving, and thoughtful people. ❤

That somehow, Katie and Cina and I found the energy to keep working on the next room painting project after we got home today. Well, after a nap, and lunch, and a long break… 😉
