The health of my family definitely hit home this season as well as my dad had been getting tests done this past week on a few things and more specifically, had to be admitted (more of a precaution than anything but still scary) for a slightly irregular heartbeat two days before Christmas. He was released Christmas eve and was able to spend Christmas with us and I was able to give him my gift - tickets to watch an NBA basketball game (go Cavs!). I was thankful for his health and glad to have spent time with him last night at the game. We never really do things like that together so I definitely made it special. Best wishes to you and your family, Connie! Connie,

Not all the shiny stuff. Thank you for sharing your stories and best to you in 2009!

It's hard to see your parents age or struggle with illness. My Dad, who turned 87 on Tuesday, was in the ICU over Thanksgiving. He got pneumonia. He was then in Rehab- and came home over the weekend. We were delighted he could celebrate his b-day at home. It has take an while, but he's gaining his strength. He's still a bit weak, but gradually coming back. Wish you and your dad the best holiday.
