Atlanta

We arrived in Atlanta tonight. Great to see Pops and Grandma. Zach slept in the car on the way home from the airport, but was wide awake when we got home. He played and entertained us until we went to sleep. It was so good to see mom and dad. Since all of this has happened, I have a new appreciation for the strength and courage of both of them.

Tonight talking to dad on the way home from the airport, we discussed his biggest fears for the surgery. He said he had two major fears. His biggest concern is that he wakes up after his surgery. His second fear is that he can go back to work after some time of healing. I also shared my fears with him. My greatest concern is that he is not in pain and that he can get rid of the cancer and move on with his active lifestyle.

It's great to see dad so positive about things. I know mom is worried, but she also remains calm and positive about the surgery.

It will be so great to spend the day together with Pops tomorrow before the surgery on Friday.
