Most of you don't know that for about 3-4 weeks in February we thought my Dad had a brain tumor. We were devastated. We cried and thought about the long road we had ahead of us. I blogged about it but never posted the blogs. My Dad had a neurology appointment, where we thought the doctor would confirm it was a tumor. My sister, brother, Mom and I went with him to the appointment. After what seemed like a lifetime, they came back through the waiting room and we all went right outside to the hallway. They told us that the neurologist believed that it was NOT a tumor!!! We cried happy tears and my Mom made us all link arms and skip down the hallway, lol. I love that memory.
The next night my aunts, cousins and brother and sisters family got together at Cock of the Walk to surprise my Dad with a "No Tumor" party. Here are some of the pictures...
This is when my Dad walked in and saw all of us...
We were so happy.
Who would have thought the brain tumor would have been the better option rather than him suddenly having a stoke/heart attack/ heart surgery/ and another unexplained something that caused sudden death.
I'm so sad. I'm sad that my kids see me cry all the time. I'm sad that my mom is so sad. I'm sad that my poor Dad went through such a hard time. I'm sad that none of this is getting better.
