My mom kept crying because my dad's cancer was continuing to progress and we all knew this would probably be the last time we'd all be together.

Buddies!

My mom sent me this pic of my dad with his best friend Roger (who'd just gotten back to Florida after being in the UK) with Easter Bunny ears on. Pretty good.

We turned around and our audience of supervisors had tripled!

Dad supervised. I love this supervisor's smile in this photo. Lol. (Miss this guy.)

My dad's brother Bruce and his two sons Chris & Steve all came to the hospital to visit my dad. All the Battjer boys in one place!

My dad making Max laugh. ;) (I'm writing this in January 2019, four months after my father's passing and it's nice to see all these photos of him). Miss you, dad!

On Friday morning I packed my bags and said farewell to the exuberant grandparents.

We went down to Ann & Walt's house for Christmas Eve. Nice to watch kids unwrap a ton of presents!

We got up bright and early on Thursday to catch our flight. Here's my parents waving us goodbye. Adorable.

For our last evening in town, we went out to an awesome Mexican dinner with my parents and Bruce and Elyse!

Headed back home!

Around 4pm we all got cleaned up for company and even humored my mom and put on the matching sweaters!

Love this guy.

My parents cutting some serious rug. My dad is ALL about the hustle. Yes!

Finishing up.

It's like a photo of Peter Griffin going skiing! (PS - Remember when Fatty and I borrowed all my parents old ski gear to go skiing and it ended up looking like we were going to an 80s party in Williamsburg?)
dad + best
And soooo many great photos. Check out my parents posing for this clutch ski photo circa 88.

Uncle Bruce and my dad back in the day. 1974? 75? Not sure, but it most definitely pre-dates me!
dad + best
I got up to help him out and was told that he didn't need any help "figuring out his own camera, Goddamnit!" So I took some photos of everyone waiting. Hahah.
dad + best
Here are the fruits of his labor though. Well worth the wait!
dad + best
I'm not sayin', I'm just saying.

Check out my blinging imitation Oakley Blades. You're wet, aren't you? (PS - Sarah pointed out that my dad looks like the dad from the Family Guy and I haven't been able to look at him without smiling since).

In almost matching outfits no less (again!)

"Now throw your hands in the air and scream!"
