Oh, Happy Day!

After 10 rough and rocky days of recuperation in the hospital following his colon cancer surgery, my dad is doing much better. My mother just called me from the hospital and said his doctor came by this morning and said that he can probably go home this Wednesday, which is what we've been longing to hear. I want to write more about the story of Daddy's miraculous surgery (you can click on the link to read about it), and the remarkable surgeon God sent to save his life ... but for now, I'm just rejoicing and being thankful for God's Grace and the truly awesome power of all the prayers that were said for my dad throughout this difficult time. Yesterday afternoon, after seeing Daddy feeling so much better, my husband and I drove out to our land to see if the Jonquils were blooming. Here are a few pictures I captured while we were there ... They are just beginning to bloom, and I picked a bouquet and took them to Mama and Daddy for his room. We have a few clumps of Narcissus, too. Although I loved seeing the flowers, the best part of our outing was stopping by to see this little guy and his sister, Avery Grace ...
