Strength in Numbers

This last February, my dad was diagnosed with kidney cancer. My siblings lived throughout the country and all made it back for the surgery. They are my strength, and I was glad to have them here. As bad as it may sound, my siblings and I always expect the worst, so in case the worst does happen, we arent caught off guard. I think this is our way of staying grounded, rather than having our heads in the clouds. The day of the surgery, we were there to support my dad and each other. It was a long day of waiting in the hospital, but thankfully it turned out successful. After the surgery, we found out that they removed my dads whole kidney, and that thankfully, the cancer had not spread anywhere else. So with us all expecting the worst it definatley was a pleasant suprise!
