Ocelot II posted a few picks from the same event. Thank you Ocelot II

I arrived in Minneapolis a week ago Friday, and had what I described as a perfect weekend, where every single thing we planned went off without a hitch.
With some major hiccups in between, we crossed off every item on our last visit bucket list and then some.
I was with dead certainty supposed to leave yesterday when I decided to take this last day and visit one more time.
We had a wonderful visit for a couple of hours, and I was relieved to find out that he will be staying in the hospital for the next week to ten days at least, to enable radiation treatment for his brain tumor.
Then this happened just a few moments ago.
We got a massive Northern lights display that is still going on as I type. I'm trying so hard not to cry, these little "miracles" just keep happening this trip.
I'll find a way to upload the two HEIC pictures, but please know, no matter what you may or may not believe in, it is a storybook ending to what has been in many ways, a storybook journey for the souls of all involved.
Thank you so much more than these words can say.
Love, John
