I'm going home for Thanksgiving!

[ksun]

Not a big deal to many people, but it's been 23 years since I spent Thanksgiving with my family. My dad was diagnosed with stage IV prostate cancer last November, and while he's doing very well right now, we are taking every opportunity we can to spend time with him. Super cheap RT tickets on Southwest, so we jumped on them. I'd love to do Christmas there also (last time I was home for Xmas was 2005), but this will be my 2nd week long trip in 2 months so I don't think work will be my biggest fan if I also ask for time off at Christmas. (I live in Colorado, home is in Minnesota).

That’s great! I am glad you get to go home.

How exciting! I’m glad you were able to find affordable tickets! Does your dad know yet?

How exciting! Frankly, if work won’t fire you for it, I would head home for Christmas, too! What a joyous holiday season you will have!

Yes, he's very excited. We've visited 2 times since his cancer diagnosis & DD is going to spend 10 days there next month. We normally only get to go for about 5 days every year, so we're really focusing on increasing that now.

Great news! I’m sure it will be so nice to spend time with your dad 💕
