My Dad was the father to 4 beautiful children and a dedicated Physician at Erie County Medical Center in Buffalo, New York. He was diagnosed with Stage 4 Glioblastoma in August 2017. That December I was stuck in bed after a surgery and ended up knitting over 30 hats for my friends and family as holiday gifts. My Dad loved the hats so much that I gave him two for Christmas that year, and he ended up stealing another one from me the following October. He kept his head warm after his brain surgeries with one of my knitted hats and he wore one every time he left the house. He would tell everyone he saw how warm my hats were. Because of the cutting-edge research and the extensive network of doctors that my Dad had contact with, we were fortunate enough to have about a year of health with him. Although he put up one hell of a fight, my Dad lost his battle with cancer on February 5th, 2019.
