Resting

Dad has had a long two days. With the chemo yesterday and visiting all of the doctors and then today with the surgery it's been exhausting for him. Mom said he finally did "go" enough to relieve some of the pressure that was building up, hopefully he will start "going" more. As Aunt Diana said - when has anyone known a Timmerding not be able to "go".....

We left them alone tonight because I know he is exhausted and just wants to probably sleep and watch TV and just relax. Of course we will all be over on Sunday for our Sunday dinners. It is funny, when I tell people that I still go over to my parents' house for Sunday dinners some look at me like I am strange and others think it is great. I look forward to it every week. All five of us kids may not be there but there is usually at least three of us with our kids and it is just a great catch-up time. Not that we don't talk to each other every day, but it's just I don't know, just special. And dad normally cooks a big dinner and if you butter him up enough he will cook your favorite :) It's just a tradition that I don't think will ever end, and I hope it never does.

Just wanted to leave with this quote - I hope everyone is able to call their Father - Dad, as I am proudly been able to!

" Any man can be a father, but it takes a special person to be a dad" (Proverb)


Much love to all
