Last week we had a scary phone call. The results from my Dad's tests didn't look too good. We cried a bunch. We prayed a lot. It was one of those situations where time seems to go so slowly as you wait for more results. It's also one of those where you wander around trying to figure out what you should be doing with your time. Know what I mean? My sweet husband knew I needed to see my Dad. So, a quick decision was made to run down to Fort Myers for a couple of days. I just needed to hug him and Mom.
My Mom also happened to be having hand surgery, so I was glad I could be there for that as well. We spent some time with my parents and it was so nice to just be together. Dad even took me out to lunch! Just me and him. I loved every moment!
Since Mom and Dad had to be up super early for Mom's surgery, we knew they would be exhausted when they got home. So, we snuck away for a little beach time so they could rest. We Gimenez's tend to be a little loud, so I think they needed some quiet. :o)
We found a perfect, quiet spot on Bowditch point on Fort Myers Beach. It was so beautiful!! The water was clear and the sand powdery soft. I love the beach!
The kids were so excited to play. They made a cocina shell farm.
Isn't my Callie growing up? She's such a sweet girl turning into a special lady.
It was nice for there to be shallow waters a good way out for the kids to play. It makes this Momma's heart not worry so much. :o)
My girls are definitely on a volleyball kick. They play it all the time!
When we got back Dad started his Model A, Mrs. Green, and took us for a ride. That was so fun! It's so cool that my Dad has cool cars. We had fun!
The kids also got some fun Grandma time. They played lots of games and talked her ear off!
I sure do love my parents. They love my kids. They love my husband. They love me. And I love how they love each other. Their marriage is a great example!
And, Praise the Lord, my Dad's doctor called yesterday with an AMAZING report! They no longer suspect cancer as they first thought! We are so excited!! He goes for more testing on Friday, so we would appreciate prayers for them. Love you Mom and Dad!
It looks like a visit to mom and dad was just what the doctor ordered. I know it soothed your heart to be with your parents at this critical time for them. It's so wonderful that your dad got a praiseworthy report. I pray that he will be able to get an answer soon and be treated. I hope too that your mom is recovering well from surgery. I just love the beach, the smiles on all your faces and the fantastic green car, Mrs. Green. She's so pretty. Have a blessed rest of your week Kami.
