Father's Day hit a bit different this year as my dad was admitted the Friday before with abdominal pain and a bowel obstruction. All of my cylinders fired at the same time, daughter, helper, care giver, nurse, mom... you get the point. It was great to have some connections on the inside. I spent as much time as physically possible in the hospital with him in order support both of my parents. All of us did, an incredible benefit to having a large family. We brought home made gifts up when we visited and had a nice time, considering. He ended up going to surgery two days later and was quickly on the road to recovery. He is a determined guy and has loads of life to live. When he was feeling better, he enjoyed getting to know all of the care providers and continuously commented on how outstanding the care was at all levels.
Father's Day for Dave was really nice. We had a picnic at Riverdale Park followed by a bike ride to QCB for some treats, and of course, Bread and Circus for dinner, per usual :). We are so fortunate to have such great dads in our lives. The kids have such great role models from uncles to cousins and neighbors. Thanks Dave and dad, you're both top notch.
