Happy Birthday to Phil

Well, here it is. Another birthday for my dad. It has been hard to allow myself to dream this day would come. I didn't even dare hope for it, but here it is!

All those prayers have done wonders. I think my dad is feeling the best he has since being diagnosed. The vomiting has stopped. He is not in any pain. His personal affairs are mostly in order. But, unlike in the fall he is no longer just waiting to die. He is living!

So. . .

Happy Birthday, Dad!


He loves hearing from friends and family, so don't hesitate to call, send a quick email or post a comment to the blog. As always, I can forward email to him. If you don't have an email address for him, just send your message to me at the link to the right (in "About Me"). Put "Please forward to Phil" in the subject line, and I'll make sure he gets it.
