Thanks everybody! D17 phoned and said she didn't want to go out to dinner tonight, too much homework. So I suggested that I get some take out food, I'd already bought the cake and come over for dinner. She agreed. So I phoned her mom and she agreed to the arrangements. So, I'm off to pick up the food and open gifts with my seventeen year old daughter. Part of me wants so much to go and sit with my Dad tonight after the news he got today but I can't. I guess I'll get the girls to phone him after dinner and chat. I just can't imagine what it's like to lie in bed alone knowing that there is no hope and you're going to die. What a horribly lonely feeling. I know the Lord is with him and maybe that'll be enough for tonight. I hope so.
