Early GTKY: Something real
I'm posting my GTKY a day early. I can't Nest at work, and I have no clue what time I'll be home tomorrow. Enjoy!
During my senior year of high school, I saw appointments on the family calendar for my dad at a urologist. Several appointments. I was really nervous, and my parents told me they didn't want to tell us anything until they had answers. My dad was diagnosed with prostate cancer and underwent (at the time) an experimental procedure. It's now a pretty standard treatment. My dad's case was fairly easy compared to other stories I've heard and seen, but it profoundly changed our family and the way I live my life. My dad, my superhero, the Ol' Walrus, had cancer. It shattered my naiveté.
My dad started to do everything he wanted to do. He pretty much embodied that country song "Live Like You Were Dying" even though he had won his battle. He told my sisters and me that we should take advantage of any and every opportunity we have. For us, this meant seeing everything we wanted to. My sister studied abroad. I started traveling. My parents haven taken tons of amazing vacations. They bought a RV. They take extended weekends at the seashore. It sounds pretty normal on paper (or a screen in this case), but we were never like that. My parents lived paycheck to paycheck when we were kids, so traveling around Europe was never on my radar. Hell, I still haven't been to Disney. My dad's motto is "Shrouds have no pockets," and it's definitely impacted how I live. I feel fortunate to have the opportunities I have had, and I really owe this attitude to my dad.
**Poof**

Pregnancy was never the end goal; being a mom was.
