A little girl and her daddy

Although my work load is sky high, my mind will likely be somewhere else tomorrow. My dad will be undergoing surgery tomorrow for a hiatal (sp?)hernia. I've been strictly instructed that it is unnecessary to be there in person but my head and my heart couldn't be any closer. This surgery is quite complex and could result in his chest needing to be opened. Yes, I am scared!

I just got off the phone with him, letting him know I would be thinking of him and saying a prayer. I told him I loved him and his echo of that statement sent me in to tears, just like when he told me that he loved my husband on my wedding day.

My daddy will be in a very vulnerable place tomorrow and I'm praying to god that everything goes well. Hopefully this will end months of being uncomfortable and start a new chapter for him.

Here's to a big girl wishing, hoping and praying that her daddy is as strong as he has always been!
