Thank you to everyone who took the time to leave kind comments about my dad. He's doing well now, but he's definitely got a bit of a journey on the road to recovery.

If there is one good that has come out of this, it is that I now remember where my priorities lie.

Here's the part where I get sentimental, so skip this bit...

It just struck me. I'm going to be 37 in 28 days. I think this is significant.
