Something Good

Friday I got to see my dad and Stepmom in Amsterdam. They are on a cruise that docked here for exactly 8 hours. It was great to see them. Dad’s doing well. It’s still early days since his radiation therapy for prostate cancer but he feels good and is not having any symptoms or problems…
