We got some sad news today. We found out our beloved Papa has been diagnosed with prostate cancer. But we are optimistic because the doctors said it was very localized and hadn't spread. We are crossing our fingers that they caught it early and categorize it as stage one. There's an incredibly high cure rate when they do and we know with Papa's optimistic, upbeat and forever young attitude that he'll come out of this just fine! As Mimi said, "If you're a man and you live long enough, you're gonna get it." Sad, but typically true. Papa turns 69 on June 24 and we know he's going to be the guy to take us to our first Jimmy Buffet concert and watch us graduate suma cum laude from college!
Papa has always been a dreamer and a lover of life who has lived his to the fullest. Dad, as you gear up to face this battle remember to live your life as you always have and don't forget the Parrothead philosophy... "I'd rather die while I'm living than live while I'm dead." Go forth and conquer! We know you will.

We love you with all our heart and we are saying our prayers for you.
P.S. We also send our love and support to our Uncle Gary who is facing this battle as well. Damn cancer.
