I wonder if he's on Reddit...

My father just recovered from colon cancer. He's so much better, but he still isn't 100%. And I still am terrified that he will not be able to walk me down the aisle, or see me buy a house, or meet my children.

I look at him sometimes and I can tell he's tired too. It took so much out of him to keep fighting. But I'm very glad he did. Because he got to see me graduate from college, and grad school, and get my first job. He got to meet the man who I think will someday be my husband. He got to see my little brother graduate from middle school. And I would have understood if he wanted to let go... but I am so, so happy for every day I get to spend with him.

I don't know what this is on the 20/20 scale, but prior to my LASIK procedure I was wearing -8.5 contacts in both eyes. I.e., I could only read a book without correction by holding it about an inch from my eyes.

It took two procedures, but I'm still better than 20/20 almost 5 years later. (The first procedure got me to like 20/25.) My doctor did tell me I was lucky to have very thick corneas though, which is the sexiest-sounding compliment I've ever gotten.
