issues of the heart

Well...
some of you already know that Sunday night my Dad had a heart attack. It was so random and out of the ordinary to us. He just is not a heart patient or has any signs of a heart patient. All that to say without going through the whole story, he stayed 2 days in the hospital monitored and he is home now resting and getting back to himself again. He will be going back in 6 weeks to see if they need to do open heart surgery or stints on the other 2 remaining blockages. My dad made a sweet comment that he will be very close to Schafer cause they will have some life changing things in common. Two open heart surgeries on people I love is too many to go through in 6 months. But if it makes him better and stay here longer than it is worthy it. I am just gonna need many bottles of hair color to cover this gray.

I had a painting I had to do for someone...she wanted a heart with wings. I had been busy with little things here and there and just not inspired at all. I had a basic idea of what I was gonna do but not feeling the execution of the whole thing. After going through this with my Dad and bringing me memories of Schafer's heart surgery and hospital time...it came to me. I got it done in just a few hours. My friend really didn't give me a color palette or anything that she HAD to have, so I was pretty free to do what I wanted to do. That was nice. It is a painting but has some collage work in there too. I am posting the pics and also some of my brave man who is now a little over 9 MONTHS! Can you believe it...i will be getting on the planning of his 1st bday soon...wow. Well enjoy and just keep my Dad in your prayers.
