YAY! My dad's airplane is landing 🛬

[LifeIsThePitts]

He's bringing special Chinese food from a local restaurant, House of Wong, family owned since 1958. Me and my hubby used to go there when we were kids with our families LOOONG before we ever met. It's the only place we can get this childhood comfort food!!

We haven't seen each other in over a year. He visited last May when I was recovering from a 2 level neck fusion surgery. I hope his visit pulls me out of the spiral I've been fighting for the last few weeks. His 86th birthday is Thursday so we're 🥳🎉 celebrating.

Hey Litp,! So glad to hear your Dad is visiting and still traveling around at 86. That’s awesome! Hopefully his being there and Bday celebrations will help take your mind off the recent pain. Distractions always help. The food looks fabulous btw. Have a great week and enjoy this most special time with your Dad!

Yes I'm hoping his visit will pull me outta the little slump I've been fighting 🤞
