A very stressful week with a Happy Ending!
Dad is home again and did NOT need any heart surgery at all.
Prayers did get answered big time and we all feel so blessed.
My sister Gerd with daughter Lindsay did bring Dad home this afternoon.
Perfect timing for Saint Nicholas!
This is last year's order of Chocolate Letters for Friends and Extended Family...
Most people prefer MILK chocolate; what is your preference?
Mine is DARK...
Husband Pieter's is MILK or MELK in Dutch...
Mine is DARK...
Before my sister Gerd, with her daughter went upstairs to Dad's room at the VieCuri hospital in The Netherlands, Lindsay did IMPROMPTU play at the Grand Piano:

I am so happy to hear that your Father is home and not needing surgery, my Dear Mariette! This must be such a relief to your worried mind and allow you to enjoy the season a little more. Very good news. I must admit, I love milk chocolate, although I know dark chocolate is much healthier. I save it for very special treats only occasionally. That is quite an alphabet of chocolate letters! Congratulations on being a citizen for 22 years! Hope your weekend is relaxing and full of joy. Hugs xo Karen
ReplyDeleteBen gek op witte chocolade (of anders melk )manlief houdt weer juist van puur.....
ReplyDeleteHello dear Mariette,
ReplyDeleteDon't worry, I too have difficulties blogging, I am still too often very busy after my drama.
I am sorry for your dad but at least only medication is needed.
Yes, being "connected" is not that simple, especially if the family doesn't follow.
It must have been quite frustrating to remain without news for a few days.
Huge hugs, keep well and enjoy your weekend :)
Dearest Mariette,
ReplyDeleteJoy stretches far and wide; how wonderful that your father does not need surgery.
Proge likes dark chocolate. I am allergic to chocolate, although I can have white chocolate in small quantities.
Here's to an enjoyable, stress free weekend............*s*
Um chocolate sabe sempre bem.
ReplyDeleteUm abraço e bom fim de semana.
Liebe Mariette,
ReplyDeleteich freue mich sehr, dass dein Vater wieder zu Hause ist - Gott sei Dank ist es ja
glimpflich abgelaufen und er kann die Advents- und Weihnachtszeit mit euch genießen -
ach ja, wer liebt nicht Schokolade - ich bin ein Vollmilch-Fan - aber ab und zu esse ich auch
dunkle Schokolade -
ich wünsche dir nun eine entspannte wundervolle Zeit -
herzliche Grüße - Ruth
Hello Mariette
ReplyDeleteSo glad that your father goes back home and not need surgery!! You must be so relieved! I enjoyed Lindsay's piano play. What a lovely performance! I hope you enjoy your days.
I remember those chocolate letters. I like all chocolate but maybe lean toward dark. I hope now you can relax and enjoy the season. Janey
ReplyDeleteYeah milk chocolate hands down I can eat a very small piece of dark chocolate but over all I prefer milk or white chocolate
ReplyDeleteDear Mariette,
ReplyDeleteSo lovely to hear that your Dad is out of hospital and home again and your prayers were answered - and even better that he is not needing to have surgery.
Now you will be able to relax and enjoy the holiday season.
Sending hugs
Carolyn

What a great news! I'm so happy your dad doesn't need surgery and he is home! I hope he gets a good rest.
ReplyDeleteI love those chocolate letters. I almost read "puur" as "purr." This happens when you have kitties :-)
I enjoyed Lindsay's piano! She is such a talented and beautiful piano player!
Happy Sunday xoxo
I am so happy for your Dad. I know as does my family what that was like for you. xo Blessings to him and to the entire family.
ReplyDeleteI love milk chocolate and I have not had good chocolate since my sons were in Europe and brought some home. New Zealand chocolate was delicious too when they went there. xox
