We've intended to do a Cantrell family camp-out for years but something (many things) always got in the way.
We recently found out that my Dad has cancer that will involve months of chemo and radiation. Nothing like a stage 3/4 cancer diagnosis to clear the schedule. And nothing like Father's Day weekend to honor Dad's wish to get everyone relaxing at a campground.
Not everyone was there at the same time, but almost everyone was there at SOME point. And it was fun!
Here's to making this a yearly tradition- with maybe a remission celebration clearing the schedule next year! (Many people are praying it is so.)

Family gatherings are just the best! So glad you all cleared your schedules to do it now. You all look like you're having fun.

Your dad has an amazing support system. I will be praying for him and all of you. How is your mom doing?
ReplyDeleteThank you all for your kind words and prayers!
ReplyDeleteMarybeth- my Mom is handling this with such ease, grace and faith. It is extraordinary. She really is one of the strongest women I know and she is the cheerleader that my Dad needs. Thank you for asking!
