Two days in a life of almost 90 years...

Dear...

This morning I received a message that my 89 year old dad had to undergo an emergency operation. They operated on him for nearly four hours and placed two bypasses. He is now in intensive care and has to stay there for the next 48 hours. The doctors said if he will make it through these two days he has a good chance. Two days in a life of almost 90 years, that sounds like almost nothing. Two days is all we can think of right now, hoping and praying that dad is going to be okay.

A few days ago I wrote that you can never be fully prepared for life opportunities, that you have to go out of your comfort zone and that you should take them as they come. My post of yesterday was about the power of being thankful.

Today, we are not ready to let my dad go, we probably never will be, but he had a life to be proud of so we can accept it if his time has come. We are grateful for the life we had with him and for sure will be thankful if we'll get a few years more.
