Talked to my dad yesterday. Bloodwork shows his cancer is still under control. This is round 2 of the same cancer, which makes it harder to treat. But, so far, so good. Dad is 75, but otherwise in good health. He walks 2 miles a day, tends to his lake place, and travels with his sweet wife. The shadow of cancer just makes him more appreciative of what he has.
So, breathing a sigh of relief until next time.

But a hard blessing, to be sure.
They are! And you are never truly ready to face the prospect of losing them.
