It makes me wonder about the things I am willing to do for my dad. Rubbing his feet would be a very hard request for me to fulfill (another post altogether) but I hope I would. I hope I would do even more. My dad has Parkinson's disease. Everytime I go home, he looks different but different in a way that is foreign. I used to see him look different because he was taking on a new project and was enlivened at its prospects or satisfied in hard work previously accomplished. Now, I see differences in his gait, his tremor, his weight, his spirits. And maybe I needed to see his weakness to fully value his strengths. I love him now more than ever, not because he is sick but because I so appreciate what makes him well. Courtney–thank you so much for posting this sweet conversation.

I usually don't try to live vicariously through other people, but I was really touched by this post. I lost my dad to cancer when I was only 19. I usually distance myself from that loss and from the hole it left in my heart, but you caught me by surprise. Thanks for making me feel something again about the whole daddy-daughter deal. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours. I hope your dad feels better soon and that you both have a front-row seat to watch BYU knock the socks off the Utes. So I wasn’t expecting this.

Is that why reading blogs is so much fun? Because we have permission to be nosy? Hmmm. I feel like I just eavesdropped on a very sweet, very personal conversation.

I'm sure I coughed on someone who coughed on another person, who then sneezed and touched a public doorknob, which was touched by yet another person boarding a plane headed for Utah... which proves that there are some advantages to living in a bubble.
