Wow - what a powerful story all captured in the conversation. . . the chilling temperatures no doubt matching the fear inside. But, as you say, things will look better in a few moments. Sending healing thoughts and strength to you.
Thanks again for sponsoring this meme.

Gorgeous photo, Alexa! You are such an amazing writer. I could feel everything you were experiencing and could imagine the gentle reassuring look you were given. Prayers lifted that things go smoothly in the travel and the surgery on Saturday.

[Miriam]

All things crossed and calming thoughts from me to you. Your writing is so lovely.

[Jacky S]

I do hope it goes well.Alexa.

[Amy]

Goodness, it is very hard to find the words to describe how I feel after reading your moment Alexa. I can feel the scratchiness in your throat and the lurch of your stomach. I wish I could send a little warmth your way, I would gladly share.

I hope Saturday is successful and that all care arrangements are sorted, He will be taken well care of in hospital.

[SuzannaL]

How very frustrating to prepare and appear only to be turned away. Not only the physical preparations but the mental and emotional toil that takes. I am sorry that happened, glad you have a positive outlook upon it however! Hope all goes well when the time does come!

[Ruth]

Gosh, it's so frustrating when they cancel. Fingers crossed for Saturday. And yet again, Alexa, you've captured your moment beautifully.

[Jen Hart]

Beautifully expressed Alexa, I hope it all goes well on Saturday. I am looking forward to scrapping my moment :)

[Gail]

Alexis, I hope all goes well on Saturday and the surgery does happen this time. Your "moment" says so much.

[Paul B]

My goodness, heartrending. You are very good at finding the words and sentences that evoke the exact feelings and thoughts of the moment. Seeing the pretty photo of the snow, i wasn't expecting your moment's tale to be about something completely different. Wishing all goes smoothly for Saturday. When I had an operation a few years ago, I didn't need Nick in the hospital but I so welcomed having him around when I was sent home. The care he gave me in the few days after was the most essential part. Pxxxx

[Irene]

Oh Alexa, I do so wish I could jump in the car and sit with your Dad... Not the outcome I thought I would be reading about after your previous mention of a hospital visit. Do hope all goes well and you can spoil the patient when he arrives back home. A beautifully written moment, as always. Thinking of you.

[Honoré]

A masterpiece of setting the stage/mood for the unfolding moment. I was truly in that car with you both. I too wish success on Saturday, hoping that "it" happens.

Great moment and memory!

Cheers~

P.S. And thanks for linking me up.

[Sian]

I hope it all works out for you all. I'll be thinking about you on Saturday.

"Joshing" is a very Fair family word - my in laws use it a lot :)

[Alison]

[Relyn]

So much goodness to explore. What a great idea! Thank you.

[Jemma @ Just-Jimjams]

Bummer Alexa - though obviously better news for someone else. I do hope that this weekend's snow won't get in the way of any rescheduling. Thinking of you all ♥

[Ginger]

Another beautifully told moment Alexa :) hoping it's good day tomorrow and all works well.

[Becky]

I love reading your writing - you write so descriptively. Hope everything goes well with the second attempt at the hospital.

[Barbara Eads]

What a lovely account of a quiet moment. I could almost hear the words unspoken as you just enjoy the "togetherness."

[Karen Walker]

Beautifully written as always. I hope the next appointment comes about on time, and that all goes well.

[Marcie]

A gorgeous page - and conversation - with which to remember winter. Wishing you well...and the strength to get thru.

[Melissa]

Oh Alexa, your writing is always so elegant & positive even in the middle of difficult situations. Thanks for sharing these moments - they make me want to strive for more understanding when things don't go exactly how I've planned.

[sandie]

Thinking of you Alexa, and enjoying your writing as always. I hope it all went to plan on Saturday and that you were able to find someone to be with your Dad.

[Susanne]

Hello Alexa. My first attempt to leave a message met with technical difficulties. But it turned out to be a blessing because I got to come back and reread your post. You seem to handle situations as gracefully as you write about them. Thanks for linking me up. Take care.

[Fiona@staring at the sea]

Oh Alexa you write so evocatively. I hope all went well on Saturday and you were able to find a way to make it work xx

[Andy Lean]

Hi Alexa, Happy New Year to you. What a thought provoking piece! Your writing is so moving and the intricate detail makes you feel like you are there in that moment with you. Our thoughts are with you, Andy.

[Mel]

Oh, Alexa - I hope it was, indeed, fine xx

[ifa]

I hope the Saturday will work out. I am off to find if you have posted an update.
