Wordless Wednesday - Mo's Mom & Pop

Yes, this is the back of a man's head.  This man is my dad.  At this time last year, my dad had no hair, was thin, very pale, extremely weak, and was waiting for a life-saving bone marrow transplant.  So when I look at this pic from this past Mother's Day weekend, it makes me very happy!  Here he sits, with good color, and head full of hair, and chatting on the phone!  It's a wonderful sight to me!! 

My Mom & Dad.
  He surprised her (and I mean really surprised her) with a Louis Vuitton purse for Mother's Day.  I'm pretty sure it cost more than my first car.  It was a "thank you and I love you" from my dad to my mom...who never left his side the entire time he was in the hospital (and we're talking months).  She slept on cots, in chairs, ate crappy hospital food and did whatever she had to do to support and take care of Dad when he was sick.  She deserves a Louis V!
I love you mom and dad!!

I'm feeling so blessed, and so proud of my parents for being the strong, dedicated and loving parents that they are,  that I linked today's Wordless Wednesday with all the linkys found HERE, please take a look!
