For Memorial Day we went to Dallas to spend time with my mom and dad, and to be their for my dad's recent surgery. My dad was recently diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, but fortunately the doctors caught it really early (stage 1-A). His surgeon said in the thousands of cases that he has seen, only ONE other case was caught that early, and it was by chance after a patient was in a car accident. They removed the tumor, and also anything within a short radius of it, including lymph nodes to be sure that nothing had spread. Thankfully, all came back negative. We don't even know if they will do chemo at this point, and probably won't do anything for several weeks to build up my dad's strength.
It is times like these that you stop to hug your loved ones, count your blessings, and re-evaluate what it most important in your life. The surgeon even said that someone was looking out for my dad, and I couldn't agree more.
Speaking of what's important...my sweet peas. LOVE them both so much. It is so fun to already see how different their little personalities are and how Jake lights up when he looks at his big sister!
