Still Dating my Dad...

This past weekend Dad and I went on a Daddy-Daughter date night.  Chick-fil-A restaurants around Atlanta were hosting daddy/daughter date nights in their restaurants and we were excited to participate!  Chick-fil-A does a great job in hosting this event with servers, entertainment, white/black tablecloth, flowers, etc.  We loved the place mats as they had questions for daughters to ask dads and vice versa.  We enjoyed the evening asking each other questions that aren't the normal day to day talking points.  We shared funny stories and great memories over the years.  I'm thankful that I'm never too old to date my dad.....looking forward to continuing our conversations in future dates as well.

First Daddy Daughter Date Night


I also wanted to share an update on dad's health.  He is still feeling great and going to work each week.  He continues to have routine doctor visits to monitor his health, see if new tumors or growth of tumors have appeared/occurred, and receives treatment to continue strengthening his hip bones.  Last week, dad had a brain MRI and this week, we learned that he has three brain tumors that have re-appeared.  He is visiting with his neurosurgeon tomorrow to talk about next steps.  He will most likely have targeted brain radiation to the tumors....it's like a "zapping" procedure where it's supposed to blast away the tumors, but we know that the tumors have the potential to re-appear.  We continue to pray for strength, good health, and treatment options that leave dad feeling good!
