A huge milestone!

Today was a day of mixed emotions, from worried and scared to happy and relief and anything that falls in the middle.
Dad had his surgery today and as scared as he was, he was a trooper though it all. This surgery is one step closer to him getting better.
It was hard to see him missing mom so much but as hard as it is I do understand, she was the one who took care of him, and now us 3 sisters take the role of trying to fill moms role and care for him.
Dad, Lena, Shelda and I went to the hospital at about 6:30am, and about 10am he was taken back for the surgery.
We were told about 1hr 20min for the surgery, and 4hrs later he was done. so us girls were basket cases asking the nurse on the unit if he was done yet. lol
After he was in his room, we seen a very sleepy dad, and a huge relief on his face that he was done. we got him a sandwich and coffee, talked for a bit and then we let him rest as we went out for supper with Fran, moms best friend.
Fran is such a support and even though mom is gone she still cares, she reminds me of mom, its no wonder why they were are best friends.
So all in all it was a good day, a stressful day but good.
That's all from me today, I'm tired, and Shelda and I are gonna try and make the drive home tomorrow some time.
