My Dad Will Beat Cancer. (Round 12.)

Dad, today is your 12th round o’ chemo. (Out of 12!)

And while you’ve been strong and stoic and awesome, I’ve been posting memories and pictures and videos that kiiinda make you wish you could cancel the internet.

So today, I will listen to you. (And it’s only taken a day shy of 33 years.)

Here, for your hooked-up-to-chemotherapy viewing pleasure, is a video that the girls and I recorded shortly before bedtime last night.

Please excuse the lack of studio quality.

And the fact that one of us is in jammies.

And another has been having a day.

And the third really needs to pee. (I’ll just let you try to Encyclopedia-Brown-out whom is whom.)

We love you, Pop/Dad. We all hope that this course of treatments knocked out the cancer from your awesome, dudely being. And that you feel better so, so soon.

Because if you don’t, I might be forced to tell people that you were in an 8th grade band called Destiny’s Children.

My hands are tied, here.

Thank you, Annie! I think my Dad will get better if only to have people stop saying his name all over the place. ;)

I have tears on my face of course, obviously. I want him to win this one so badly. Let's just say this is close to my heart and cancer sucks. I'm glad it is Papi's last day and I am in his corner cheering him on all the freaking way. For reals.

Brittany, YOUR tears are moving ME to tears. Thank you so much for your kind words...

I don't know you and your father (or even Encyclopedia Brown - DANG it!) but suddenly I really wish I did.
(Well, not so much Encyclopedia Brown. He'd probably sleuth-out that I've got no idea what I'm doing most of the time and who needs that?)

With one sister-in-law, a dear friend and one sweet little boy I know fighting cancer (at this moment) I am with you and your dad all the way. Like you, these dear people use humor to endure the pain, to spread awareness, to share the love.

So cheers to your dad finishing his last treatment and to your entire family for being THAT AWESOME.

Also, nice to meet you. You kind of rock.

Um, Julie, YOU absolutely rock. And let's both pretend we know Encyclopedia Brown, yeah?
