My Dad is doing pretty good. And he's home. He spent almost two weeks at the hospital and then another two weeks in a rehab getting his strength back.

Another shitty thing happened and my mom lost her job. "At will employment" is tricky sometimes.

But my family is ok. We're pretty close and we constantly expressed gratitude for that throughout this experience.

My niece had a birthday yesterday. It was a good time for a celebration. Who couldn't use a little cheering up? Plus the weather has been so amazing we were able to grill and hang out on the deck. It was very soothing.
