Daddy

[Cheering472]

I've been (and will be) off the board a bit lately. My dad has been fighting pancreatic cancer. He's in the hospital now and it's much worse than we thought. He's been through chemo and radiation, but it's back with a vengence. I'll be visiting you all for my daily smile, but won't be here long.

I can't imagine a world without daddy in it. We could lose him very quickly if they don't get the sepsis under control. They are talking in terms of weeks now unless he steps up with more invasive chemo options. I think he's done with that, but he may decide to fight it a bit longer. For the prayerful among you, please remember him. We've resigned ourselves that we will lose this fight, but want him to be at peace and not to endure any more pain or fear than needs be. I appreciate any good thoughts or prayers for Daddy, my children (and myself too please). Okay, my keyboard is literally wet from my blubbering and spelling may be nasty, sorry. I'm off to paste a smile on and back to the hospital. Y'all play nice. I'll see you in a day or two. If you still have your father, call him today and tell him how wonderful he is.

I will certainly keep you all in prayer. Hang in there. I'm also going to call my Dad today. Thanks for the remiinder.

I am so sorry my friend. I see that you are blessed with a DADDY, too. We are the lucky ones to have that special relationship. I am sending prayers and good thoughts to all. Please keep us posted as you can.

cheering - i am sooo sorry for you and will keep you in my thoughts. my pop has a bum ticker, has already had one heart attack plus diabetes, and just had to have more stents put in last week. i know somewhat what you are going thru, so if you need to talk or anything please pm me - i am usually around or not too far. and i do try to either talk or email my parents every day. knowing that no one can live forever doesn't make it any easier does it ? take care my friend

You will be in my thoughts and prayers. Having lost my Daddy to cancer, I understand the difficulty you are having. Enjoy each moment and think of good things....it helps. Just live in the moment. Take care of yourself during this time as it is easy to neglect yourself. May you feel God's arms wrapped around you, holding you each moment of this journey.

Lynne, what a moving post. I'm sure your dad knows how much you love him, and that is all that matters. I will keep you and your family in my prayers.
