Next week I am leaving on vacation for about 3 weeks. Sprout and I are leaving Las Vegas and driving all the way to Southeast Texas. We will probably drive through Arizona and stop with family the first day. Then (if I can get in touch with my beloved Superinsomniac ) we will stay in New Mexico the 2nd night before trekking the rest of the way to Houston the last day. This would save me an oodle of money on motel rooms and allow us to spend more time with my dad becuase we could leave a few days earlier than originally planned.
I haven't seen my dad in about 3 years, and he had to have a lung removed last year. He has steadily lost more air capacity with each successive doctors checkup. Basically this is going to be my last chance to see him before he has to be hospitalized or put in hospice (although we haven't said this aloud). There are alot of memories we want to make before the end, especially so that Sprout can remember some really cool things about his granddad.
