A Special Gift

For those of you who don't already know, a few months ago my Dad was diagnosed with prostate cancer. This was what caused my seemingly "random" trip to California back in October, to spend more time with the man that we love in what was a hard time for the family. Just a week before Christmas, he opted to have surgery to remove the cancerous cells from his body. Our family Christmas this year was just a little more low key and a bit laid back for his recovery but we were all so happy to accommodate. Just so this year for Christmas we could receive the greatest gift of all, a clean bill of health for our Father. Today he is cancer free and feels healthy as a horse. We are so happy to have the head of our family back to his jolly old self and wish to have him for MANY more Christmases to come. And for this New Years we are wishing you and yours a happy and HEALTHY new year!!
