Plans Change.

Tomorrow morning at Dark:30 a.m. I’ll be boarding a plane that I didn’t know I was going to board a week ago. Plans change. In the blink of an eye.

One of the strongest men I know in the whole wide world will be undergoing a surgery that I do not have the heart to miss.

He’s the only one for whom I would leave my family for a week and a half.

He tried to change my mind about coming.

(It didn’t work).

He’s responsible for much of who I am today.

He’s my dad.

To respect his privacy I wont go into too much detail (because he is, after all my dad even if I’m 40, and I don’t want to get “the look”…or grounded…or a lump of coal in my stocking), but its a pretty major surgery, and the prognosis is a little unknown.

So, as they often do, my plans have changed to leave a bit earlier and wait (oh, I already can hardly wait…) for my family to join me in 12 days for the rest of the holidays at Grandpa’s house, as originally planned.

I’ll be away from this little blog for a while. But be sure to enter the very awesome giveaways in my gift guide, and check back after Christmas for more tutorials on Blogger, using images, and WordPress.

Until then…call your dad and tell him you love him.
