It was nice to have another good day today with Dad. I arrived the same time as Tony this morning and we found Tahna in the room already. We broke the rules and all stayed in with Dad but the Nurse was okay with it. We had a good time talking to Dad. You can tell he was very alert today and could hear what we were saying. Tony told him he liked is Mustache and he gave us a good smile. I also showed him some pictures of Kamryn playing in the leaves and he smiled once again. These are the days that make you forget about the awful days like Saturday. Today Dad's eyes were like I remembered them even before the stroke. He would look right at you and although you saw some sadness I am sure because he wants to communicate, you also saw DAD. It was good to have him back.
