Thanksgiving 2007

It is safe to say, that although we are always thankful and grateful each year when our family gets together for all of these holidays, this Thanksgiving was particularly a blessing. It is a blessing to have both my parents with me... To have my father here, looking healthy again.. eating better and making his same old jokes. After surviving his heart attack, we are so thankful to have him with us this year. And that sentiment permeates through each and every one of my family members. I am Blessed.

How do you make God Laugh....

This is the beginning of a corny joke that a friend of mine tells every so often. When she tells it, it is like she has just heard it for the first time herself and she can barely get to the punch line without cracking hersellf up. What is the punchline? Tell him your plans...

Well, while I was making plans... trying to figure out my career life, my love life... real life barged in. I called my Mom to check on them, as I usually do. She said she was taking my Dad to the ER because he was having chest pains. 2 hours later... my sister is at the hospital... I am packing... My Dad had a "mild" heart attack and they are keeping him. Angiogram... Angioplasty... I am scared... I am alone... I am on my way home.
