This morning at 10:30 I was sitting at the doctors office in the hospital with my dad.
It was his third or fourth six months checkup.
He had a tumor removed a while back and this is what they do.
They take a scan and then a week later you hear your faith.
For the result we always go together.
The doctor came in the room and said instantly he was fine even before shaking hands.
I like his doctor. He doesn't beat around the bush and he doesn't talk in riddles.
Just tells you what you need to know.
My dad and I left the hospital in good spirits and the weather turned sunny to.
In fact, my dad was in such good spirits he called his company told them he's was leaving already to go up North.
Fuck it, he said. You need to enjoy these moments, Mark.
Bless that man. lol.
This evening I had made plans with Bianca to go to our old cafe to do something for Valentine.
I say old cafe because this is the place where we used to go when we were still in the early stages of our relationship.
She was au pair in a fancy neighbourhood in Rotterdam and I used to drive there and we would have a bite in this cafe.
The place was cheap and the food is good. This is still the case.
I don't know why but most of the time we sit next to each other instead of opposite although that's not to common in the Netherlands. It sort of grew organically I guess. (yes, I am aware now I forgot to remove the sticker from my t-shirt......)
The inside of the cafe is simple yet nice with a lot of wood, old memorabilia and old photo's. Like this one with James Dean.
For food we had the same thing we had back then. Chicken sate with fries for both of us. It's simple, I like it. Great with a beer too :)
We enjoyed the food and had a nice chat while remembering old times.
And that was that.
Our fourth Valentines day.
With all the good news it might have been our best one.

I am happy to see that someone had a nice valentines day. I wish i could say the same. I have good memories from last year though.
May God give him a healthy life ahead and give him strength .
Also looks like you guys really enjoyed yourself !!
Glad to hear about father . Father is someone you look up to no matter how tall you grow.
Thank you!
Great news for your dad and your family! Glad to hear it. Don't worry about the sticker on the shirt, it's in style to leave stickers on hats so maybe you'll start a new trend!
Haha.
Any cafe with a James Dean portrait like that is A+ in my book, the food also looks really good. Have a great Valentines Day!
Happiness and health are what we should all thrive for.
Very happy for him.
Keep on steemin'
Great news for your dad and your family! Glad to hear it. Don't worry about the sticker on the shirt, it's in style to leave stickers on hats so maybe you'll start a new trend!
lol, and thank you so much, man!
Congrats! On your Dad's health and Happy Valentine
Valentine was bored for me on this part of the globe
Well, great news for you and your family that your father is healthy and fine. And happy valentine's day to you and your valentine. Photographs are great, the food is great and I wish you a happy time to come together. Blessings
Nice post! And the Sateh looks great on the picture. I also live in the Netherlands and sitting next to each other is not that odd for me if I feel close to someone. So guess that might be the case :-)
that is great news! hope you have a great valentines with bianca - it is interesting that you point out sitting next to her because hubby and I prefer that as well, but I see majority of the people sitting across from each other
I’m glad you father is fine. I actualy lost my dad when I was 10 years old. So from my view I consider you very happy having your father with you. Enjoy your time together as much as you can. All “I” have from my father are only memories and dreams. Even though I know he is watching me.
Thank you. Sorry to hear about your dad, I bet you miss him.
Wish him abundant good healthI'm grateful to God that all is well with your dad @exyle. It's a valentine to be grateful indeed.
Thank you.
Living life to the fullest, your dads got it all figured out! Lovely story. Happy Valentine’s Day @exyle much love thanks for sharing!
I agree Fully on it !
Great news about your dad.. Worth drinking a good beer.. Cheers and happy valentines day !!
Yeah, this is one of the better reasons :). thanks!
What a wonderful valentine gift for you. Your dad's health is restored and you hangout with your partner.
I hope for more better valentine days ahead for you.
So much good news! Great ;) yeah me and Dayle had an awesome day and valentines too! Super happy for your dad matey.
Thanks man! I was very happy with that news.
When life's challenges hit us, we realize that each moments matter and we should make them count. I like your dad's high spirit after the check up.
Happy Valentine's Day to you and your boo. I see you both had a good time today.
And please don't forget to remove the tag before you wear the shirt again 😁😁😁😁
He was in a great mood indeed. I guess that's very understandable. And the tag...it does happen from time to time with new shirts :/
About the tag... Sure I understand.
Congrats with the news from your dad. Hopefully it stays that way.
Haha always check your clothes before putting it on. I think you made a lot of people laugh with that picture so it was worth it
Great news about your Dad. I have a yearly check up and I get so nervous waiting for the results. When I had my first yearly check up I was recalled for biopsies, so I always imagine it is going to happen again. The meal you had looked very appetising
Thank you, It's a stressful event indeed. I hope you are ok now.
I am thank-you, I was left with a few health issues from initial treatment, but I am happy just to be here now
For an "old cafe" it does look very good with a cool food for a special day.
Good to know that your father is doing well, always important that the ones we love are as good as we are.
I'm pretty sure you guys are happy. This is always great news!!!!!
It is! thanks, man!
So happy for your dad. What good news
Thank you!
Your dad is fine and in good spirits, Bless your dad!
You had a great dinner with Bianca, what can be better? Happy Valentine's day, man.
Thanks! A good day indeed.
I am so happy to hear the news about your Dad. That's wonderful and hats off to him for going North early (whatever that means 😊)
Glad you got to have a lovely Valentines evening as well. What a perfect place to go.
All in all wonderful news all round! 💙
Sorry, with the North I mean he's going to his house in the northern Netherlands.
I am so glad to hear that your Dad was ok! I am sure dear @clio is happy as much as you! Celebrating this Valantine's Day with this good news is what you need right now I guess! Have a great time! Enjoy! Bless! :)
Thanks!
I'm very happy to hear your father scan result is clean. I think this is great gift to you and your family in Love Day. Happy Valentine's to you all.
Thank you so much!
Hi, first off all great to hear that your father is cleared for an other year. It is scary wen your familymembers must struggle with these kind off things. Great to see that you had a nice Valentine dinner... i wish you all the best!
Kond regards
Thank you so much!
May your Dad live longer and longer||| May he see hundreds of valentines days more. Bless man
Thanks, man!
Hey REALLY great news about your dad, sounds like a top notch guy and good for him for going for it (quitting the job to enjoy the moment) My wife and I sit the same way when we go out, I don't know why, we just like to sit together. Looks like you had a great night man :)
We had a great night and thanks! Funny to read that it's not just us that sit next to each-other. I've seen several comments stating the same :)
Awesome man :) Yeah it is just one of those things I guess, we like to sit beside each other, it's more cozy I think.
I love that you guys all go together. I am glad that your father is ok!
It is important to continue dating, no matter how long the relationship is!
That's a gud way spend d Val's day with Bianca... I spent mine with my boo in church for mid week service, after which we went to a viewing center to watch champions league, lolzzz, 'twas fun though. Our first Val together
On our way out to churchWow... Your dad's case is a rare 1 @exyle. Thank God he is ok now.
Thank you and you guys look nice together! Hope you had a good day!
Thanks a lot @exyle, we sure did
Hey, that's really great to hear. Congrats all involved! :)
Thanks, man!
Thats awesome news man. I like Doctors that just say what they mean right away. Btw, that is one awesome looking satay sauce! Congrats on an all round good day!
Thanks man! And yes, they make a mean satay sauce there. Very dark and full of flavour.
It was the colour that totally grabbed me!
I love reading posts like these because I know how relieved and happy all of you had to be following that doctor visit. Sounds like you had an awesome Valentine's Day.
Its good that they do those checks glad to hear everything was cleared for your father and its always good to have a doctor that makes sense. Ah yes going back to the roots I prefer to sit beside someone I feel the table is like a wall between people @exyle
So glad to 'meet' Bianca!
You guys are a beautiful couple!
This is my favorite Valentine's Day post yet!
And, the good news from the Doc is just icing on the cake!
Best regards!
Peace.
Glad to hear that your Father is fine now. Hope that he would be perfectly fit afterwards. A father is the only one in the world who wants you to be succeed more and moer than himself.
@exyle May God bless you and your father, my best wishes are with you. Have a good time with him. 😊
Glad to hear that your father is fine friend and that old cafe is no doubt a nice place to celebrate the valentine day, i really like the decoration of that cafe and the food also looks so tasty, wish you a very joyful and cheerful week ahead friend, Stay blessed
Great news about your father! Love his attitude, you have to live in the moment. The rest can wait.
Very romantic, yet simple Valentine's Day. It's the best way. You don't need to let the special day rob you off your money, yet it's nice to do something as a couple. I mean, you paid €3 for that t-shirt, so that's €3 less for a fancy meal if you ate somewhere else (plus more). Not worth it, what's worth it is good old memories and that t-shirt. ;)
I am so glad your dad is okay, great news indeed. Love the sticker on your shirt, lol!
Thanks Rea!
Valentine's day is perfect for a few people.
Visiting back the old cafe is really a nice idea to cherish those memories again...Happy Valentine's Day!
