Thanks BBJ, my Dad is 78. He had colon cancer about 3.5 years ago, just at the time wife and I decided to separate! It's taken him a while to get back to himself and the past six months or so were really good, he was strong and energetic and, in fact, mom was thinking of booking a tour for them to go on. Not anymore! Mom's handled so much the past few years. I hope he has a quick recovery and she can feel confident about booking a tour soon. The biggest trip they've had in the past few years is a weekend in North Bay...not saying that's not fun but... I'm feeling a bit down tonight, I didn't sleep well last night as I had a really bad pillow. I think the kids being away, Dad's situation and hearing about that fellow I knew, younger than me, who just died has me a bit down. Again, too much sun the past few days probably didn't help. Anyway, time to eat and we'll see about bible study.
