Its times like these that make me very thankful that my family has its health. My friend Jon Davies' father has fought brain cancer 4 times and has beat it each time, only to have it come back....but this time, it has fully taken control of him, and they don't think he can survive through the night.....Jon has been in the marine now since high school, and hasn't been able to see his dad all that much...only when he comes home to visit.....which happened to be last week....but the marines have allowed him to return home and hopefully see his dad once again before he passes....its a difficult time because we have all gotten to know jon's dad and he was always there at our games and stuff in high school...
i remember one year our sophomore year when his dad had just recently gotten out of the hospital, and was able to make it out to our basketball game....i remember seeing him there and having the whole team go up and shake his hand and tell him it was good to see him....i remember feeling good that he had survived and it looked like he would make a full recovery....
and i just feel horrible for jon....like through his dad's surgeries and recoveries, his family and him has always stayed strong....at times jon and i weren't on the same terms, but jon's a brave guy for going overseas and fighting in the war...its something i can't imagine myself doing....and having to go through what he has really makes me proud to know him...i've always wanted to see jon and find out how he's doing but this is not the way i wanted to see him....at his dad's funeral.
