My dad has been able to make the trip to Chicago one last time. The kids ADORE my father! They want to be in his lap and do everything that he does. This is our last visit in Chicago and will meet again in Boston! So, we did the fun stuff!! Our day consisted of fun at the park and then lunch a Super Dawgs (a famous Chicago hot dog stand). We had so much fun playing and eating fun food. It was a hard goodbye. Dad left early in the morning while we were asleep. Brenden (as I was told) sat in the window and waved until he couldn't see Papa any more. He's still carrying around the pocket change dad gave him...three days later!
Having my dad come and visit has made our family bond even stronger. When my mom passed, my dad has been fortunate enough to come visit us twice a month for the past 3 years. It has been a life saver for me and a pleasure for my children. I will miss our monthly visits more than I can express. See you on Skype Dad!
