We spent the afternoon with Dad at the Cancer clinic, it was a tough afternoon. Difficult statements issued by the Doctor, hard for the ears to hear but even more difficult on the heart.
Mom broke down once we got home and cried her heart out, a few times. Dad will receive only one radiation therapy and it needs to be done at an integral time, so we will wait until he gets the symptoms they talked about. I gave the nurse a hand taking Dad's shirt off and putting on the gown, my heart fell to my knees the strong and solid man that was my Dad is no more.
I was pretty much in a fog for the remainder of the day, last night I woke thinking about Dad and all that he will have to go through yet. I cannot dwell on it as I turn to tears and get very upset so trying to keep the chin up and take each day as it comes along will be my prayer.

I have long standing plans to have friends come over tonight for a barbeque, I just went outside and our brand new patio set's table is in shards on the deck! It went below zero last night....it would seem the table did not like the chill in the air and collapsed into fragments like fine hair, all of which are sitting under the frame of the table at the moment.....I could cry...but what's the point, that won't help matters. I will make a phone call later once the store is open and see what they will do for us. oh boy

The sky is perfect blue at the moment, so maybe the day's weather will turn out.....please!!!!
