Week Forty Three

October 23, 2016

I went kind of big for October and we saw the Chief's live!  I bought some pretty amazing tickets.  It was a fun experience, but I think we are more of watch football from home kind of people.  We don't yell much and there were lots of very drunk people.  

So thankful to spend days like this with him!

The Power of a Photo

It was October 2013, the day before his 60^th birthday.  He was getting ready to leave for Mayo Clinic in Minnesota to talk about options.  I think there was some kind of movement going on in his cancer.  The place I worked at at the time gave me an hour lunch break and I used to come home and have lunch with my dad every day.  He waited to have lunch with me before making the trek north, all by himself. 

I had snuck a homemade birthday card in his car where he usually would keep his phone and wallet.  I knew he would find it eventually. 

I made sure I had my phone on silent camera mode, he probably won’t like that I was taking a photo.  I gave him a hug as I was taking a hundred photos, hoping one would look alright.  Then we got in our cars and drove our separate ways.  It took me 15 minutes to get to work and I bawled the entire way. 

I remember this one, tiny, insignificant moment so clearly. 

What I would do to go back there for a moment.

Just for one little hug. 

Happy birthday, daddy.
