A miracle

My Dad visited the liver specialist on Tuesday. The family had steeled itself to hear to the worst having already been told Dad's cancer was inoperable. Imagine our surprise to learn that his cancer is a rare, slow growing type that's easy to remove in a short two-hour operation. My Dad's been scheduled for surgery next Wednesday and should be home by the weekend. His liver will regenerate within two weeks, leaving him with nothing more than a simple scar to show for his experience. This unexpected turn of events is nothing short of a miracle.
