Hope and excitement

My father is flying into town tomorrow and he has about a 20 to 30 minute layover. He's bringing my record collection with him. I can't wait to see him, even if it is going to be so short a visit. The kids will be so excited to see Bampa as well. Ah well, at some point my parents will be able to visit here together. First we have to wait for my mother to fully recover from her respiratory infection. Maybe in the spring.

Although I'm secretly hoping that they are surprising me with a visit, but I can't get my hopes up...
