Sadness in my heart
Some may already know this, but I wanted to make sure that those that know me know. My Father has just been recently diagnosed with terminal throat cancer. He has about six months to live. I will be going to spend some time with him before for the end. My dad and I have a very strange relationship that has still managed to find love.
My Dad and my mom were divorced when I was about two and I didn't see after I was about three years old, so I have no childhood memories of him. He came back into my life when he showed up and the same hospital that my mom had gone with her husband at the time, Bill, when he had a heart attack. It took me a couple of years to get over the anger and confusion of it all. But I have forgiven him for not being in my life.
He is a man who could talk your ear off, so having throat cancer is not going to be easy for him. His throat is half parallelized and he has a tracheotomy so he can talk. I haven't told my girls yet that he is dying, but they know that he is very sick. I will have to tell them. But I am not sure when.
I will say more later.
