Thursday and Counting

I got to bring dad home today! I think he’ll feel better in his own bed. Unfortunately mom’s house doesn’t have the History Channel. Boo! Thursday he has an appointment for his celiac plexus block so we’ll be headed to Burlington Wednesday to spend the night at Jana’s. This should help with the pain. Family and friends have been very supportive, lots of phone calls and facebook messages. It's hard and doesn't seem to be getting any easier. Any ideas?

    CANCER is such a scary word. You hear that word and a million and one thoughts run through your head…. Unfortunately the first word that always kicks in is death. You feel scared, overwhelmed, pissed off, sad, angry, singled out, even greedy. Why is this happening to your family?, to your loved ones?, worst of all to you! It sucks, cancer sucks. At times it may seem like the world is crumbling under your feet and its not fair. Life really isn’t fair. Its normal to be scared… scared for your parents, sisters, brothers, uncles, aunts and grandparents, most of all yourself. Its natural to feel sad… no one should have to go through this.
    I can remember like it was yesterday that day that my mom sat all of her 5 kids down at the dining room table and uttered that word… and for a brief second your world stops turning… you hear Cancer and your in another planet all you can hear is that echo of the worst word in the world. Then of course here come the tears.
    I have to honestly say I felt the same exact way when Erika told me the news. It was hard, I cried too. It was unfair for this to happen to one of the most caring fathers that I have ever met. He will do anything for anyone with no questions asked. I hurt for Erika, just for the fact that I know how their relationship is, very close. I don’t like seeing her hurting, it’s the worst thing in the world. I will be here for you as best as I can, I cant say that I will be able to always be strong but I will always be here.

    Erika & Jana always stay positive… Miracles DO happen…and I’ll always be here to lend and ear, or a shoulder. I love you and your family like my own. <3
