Last year, Dekker had to get some work done at the doctors. I don’t want to blow all of his details, but I do have his permission to share the story, because its a zinger 🤣 So I’ll be a little vague, but I’m sure many will follow.
So Dekker went in twice for some simple procedures. They weren’t fun procedures, but they were common enough. He had a great doctor who we could joke with, who was super soft, and who just so happened to also be connected to Kinasao! All around a really wonderful person to be connected to!
At these appointments, there was some cauterizing. Quite a bit, actually. As I’m sure you can imagine, the smell was pretty strong by the end of it. You probably know the smell I mean. That burning flesh smell 😬 It was not a nice smell.
And out of nowhere, Dekker commented “Mmmmm! Smells like popcorn twists in here!”
Our doctor was floored!!!
“Dekker!!!! You just ruined popcorn twists!!!”
MAN did we ever laugh!!!
🤣
Come Christmas time, I was setting up gift ideas, including our doctor, and I suggested we give a Christmas card to the doctor who helped him out this year as well. And then it struck us.
We should give her popcorn twists. 😳
We bought a big bag and Dekker wrote a note that went something like this:
“Remember that time you burned me and it smelled like popcorn twists? Thanks for that.”
We felt pretty good about that message, haha!
And thankfully, so did the doctor. She texted me mid-Christmas break and said she laughed SO hard, hahahaha!
What a win 😅 Goodness. Its nice to have a funny memory tied to a tricky time such as that. I think all of us got a good laugh out it.
Dekker, you are a great sport 💜 Thank you for being exactly who you are! And for letting me post this.
