    I have witnessed the power that the people on this board have when they send up a little prayer for someone.

    Now I'm asking for a prayer.

    Tomorrow morning my dad is having a very invasive surgery on his face for an extremely rare form of cancer. I'm scared.

    We spent the morning together at our regular Sunday morning breakfast, he said he has had a good life and was wondering if his mother was calling him home. I sure hope not.

    Whatever good thoughts, vines, vibes and prayers you could send up for him and his surgeons will be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you,
    Robin

    Thank you both. I already can't stop crying. I don't have a good feeling about this, that's why I put it on this board.

    Wish I could give you a big hug in person. I know cyber hugs are not the same, but this one is winging its way to you. :YMHUG:

    Thanks for the hug Sue, I did what my granddaughter and I do when blowing kisses, I caught it in my hand and put it around me.

    Michele, thanks for lighting a candle, it reminded me to do the same.

    Thank you and Ruby for the good thoughts.

    You guys are the most amazing and awesome group of people I've ever met.

    Thank you Lyrissa, Lisa and Carl,

    Dad did well during surgery but the cancer had spread more than they had expected so they scaled back on the extent of the surgery to give him better quality of life. I'm not sure where we go from here but at least he is still with me.

    Thank you for the support, it means everything to me.

    Robin

    I am so glad he made it through the surgery. I know you will make the most of the time you two will have together, but I am so sad for you both. Hard to go through. Hugs and good thoughts.

    Thanks Donna and Michele, prayers are still needed and appreciated. On Friday he goes back into surgery for 8 hours for the facial re-construction. Then he should be out of the woods as far as major surgery goes.

    I'm hanging in there, as the Greatful Dead would say "What a long strange trip it's been". Before the surgery I started making short video's of him at our Sunday Morning breakfast ritual, asking him to tell me his favorite stories of his life so I would have something to hold onto and be able to hear his voice. Since the surgery he has wanted to continue the video's, against my better judgement, but we'll see where it leads us.

    Thanks for being here for us.

    XOXO Robin

    Dear Robin, keeping both of you in my heart. My mom died 3 yers ago, I love listening to her voice and watching videos. Yet, what soothes me the most are the few sentences she wrote when she was dying and what I wrote about her last few days. Holding you in my heart and arms,
    Sophie

    Thank you Sophie,

    I know what you mean about written notes, I have all of my grandmothers hand written recipes, it makes me feel like she is there with me in the kitchen.

    I've started writting what I'm going to say when the time comes (hopefully many years from now), mostly because I want it to be well thought out and not some disoriented overemotional wailing. It starts out with, the first true love in every girls life... is her daddy...

    Thank you Taisia, Marcy, Bow Huntress and Kt.

    Since his second surgery has taken so much more out of him we have not done any more videos but I am very thankful for the ones I've already done.

    Update:

    He's starting to get some of his strength back and is more alert, it was touch and go for a while, everyday I told him that he had to fight for his survival every day because if things stayed the same as they were he would slip away and I wasn't ready for that, the difference in him from Wednesday to Friday has been remarkable.

    So tomorrow I'm going over and picking up his German Shepherd Hugo and bringing him over for a visit. I think it will do them both good to spend some time together. I've arranged for a cousin to be there to run interference if Hugo gets overly excited. Wish me luck. :D

    Just seeing this - my prayers and good thoughts to you and your dad - so very hard to go thru this with anyone but esp. a parent. Take care of yourself - it's times like these when sometimes we forget to do that and you need to care for YOU too.

    Best
