That’s wonderful! The 2011 walk is on September 11th. I’ll be
posting/tweeting about it nearer to then.

sometimes a really good cry is what we need. I was surprised to see that this walk is near me. I’d like to donate, but I think I may see about participating as well.

I’m sorry to have made you cry, Jo. I swear most of the things I write
aren’t tear-jerkers!

Thanks for your thoughts, and I hope you visit often.

okay i’m not even sure what link i clicked on that brought me here, and I’ve never been here before, but this post totally made me cry.

i’m really glad it turned out okay, and if I had expendable income at the moment, I’d totally have clicked to give.

Kim,
You have the greatest way with words. I think you should volunteer to bring peace to the Middle East. Our relief that your Dad is “okay” is tremendous. We are here for you and your wonderful family.
Love,
Beth

Just hearing that first part of the opening credits of the original Star
Trek brings me back to being, like, five years old, watching it on a Sunday
afternoon with my dad. So awesome.

And thanks. They have a difficult decision to make, but thankfully not one
that's dire.

You have to lose your shit every now and then to stay healthy (no pun intended). Glad there is good news. I understand your dad's desire to have some of the constant anxiety lifted by just having the damned thing taken out. I really hope the whole team of him and docs come to a good, working solution.

Star Trek is my go-to when I'm feeling particularly down – warm fuzzies from childhood, I guess.

I am glad to hear that your dad's prognosis is good. I understand and know the stress of having a parent may have or having an illness.

Aha, okay. That makes more sense–particularly since I've now looked up what the pancreas actually DOES on Wikipedia.

Fingers crossed for you guys! :/
