If You Were In Her Shoes I Know You feel The Same

That's a sad story and i'm sorry for your loss as well. These situations are the hardest to deal with. Family should be important. They only get to live once and they've lived most of their lives with you so they've left a considerable mark in your life That's why It's hard to deal with if they're gone.

hi elleb0418, i can empathize with your facebook friend, as i too went through something similar. my dad was diagnosed with multiple myloma, a blood & bone marrow condition. things are made more complicated that he also is having some other things going on, like chronic diabetes, hypertension, and a weird allergy to fresh fruits.. he went through a very tough time during his treatments, and he still is going through it. he puts up a strong face whenever his family is around him and he refuses to baby'd around too much. a couple of months ago he started to act a bit different from usual. was insisting that he needs to see his lawyer to update his will. of course this got me and my siblings thinking about what may be going on. but we didn't pursue it openly out of respect for him. we met up with his doctor to inquire if there is anything that we, the children should know about. the doctor just said that it is my dad's wishes that we are to be told that he is really not well, and he wants us to be prepared. but my dad made his doctor swear to not tell anyone anything beyond that. this got us scared. but after overcoming some emotions, we realized that our dad doesn't want to put the fear of a 'final date' in our heads. he wants us to be the people that he brought us up to be, and to continue growing as how he taught us to, and he does not want us to stop experiencing life just because of his condition. now, we cherish every single moment we have together. regardless of the fact that we are busy in our own jobs, and day to day tasks. there will always be one of us to be around him. not to baby him. but just to be around. today is my turn. i'm never ashamed to say that i love my dad. one day soon, we may not be able to hear him laugh no more. but we are prepared. in his own fatherly way, he has prepared us for that. and that is one more thing that i respect about him and love about him.
