If you didn't know, these are dad's favorite colors. Although I don't think that comes as a shock to anyone. I don't think he owns a t-shirt or sweatshirt that is anything but Virginia Tech colors, despite all my efforts to get him into some of that beautiful Tennessee orange.
And it is no wonder that maroon and orange are dad's favorite colors. I did a little digging for fun and found out some fun facts about the colors associated with your dreams according to www.dreammoods.com. According to their site, maroon "is symbolic of courage, bravery, heroism, and strength." My dad is one of the bravest and strongest men I know in regards to both his most recent battle and with the way that he lives his life. He chooses the harder right before the easier wrong and that is true strength to me. Plus, he's definitely a hero to our family. The orange "denotes hope, friendliness, courtesy, generosity, liveliness, sociability, and an out-going nature" From the start of dad's treatments, he has been a shining beacon of hope. He makes it easy for the rest of us to be strong and positive. I might give the out-going nature part to mom though.
More on dad though. He is doing well. When we spoke with him tonight, mom was shaving his face. And no, not with the electric kind, but a good ol' fashioned razor. She also washed his hair to which he told us that he now understands why it is our favorite part of getting a haircut. I guess that's how much you love and trust one another after almost 37 years of marriage on top of 6 years of dating. Or maybe he's helping mom prep for her next job at a salon.
