We had a great time in Missouri, first at Kanakuk, then at Big Cedar. Mom and Dad came up and met us for the last 5 days of the trip. Dad had two bad days and then 2 good days. The bad days were tough for him, with some choking, acid reflux, and even some shakes and weakness. The good days followed, and he felt a little better, and even felt like getting in the pool with the grandkids.
Even though he felt bad for a few days, we were still able to go see two very special people. While in Branson, we first went by to visit Darnell White. Her and her husband, Spike White, started Kanakuk Kamps. Dad played football with Joe, one of their sons, at SMU, and then came and worked a summer up at Kamp while still in college. We went by and had the best visit with Darnell, and Dad and her shared old kamp stories and memories. That was a real special time for Dad. The next day we went out to Kamp and Dad was able to visit with Joe, something they haven't been able to do for many years.
As I write this, Dad and Mom are on their way home from my house. We just had lunch together and celebrated Father's Day with Dad and Ray. We are so blessed to have Dad with us again this year.
Tomorrow they are heading to Houston for Dad's 3 month check up, scans, and dilation. We are praying for good results. Thank you for praying for him. Hope all of you enjoy your Dads today.
In Him, JJ
