Choked Up

I've been having a few less random emotional outbursts than I was having before; I can't decide if the reality has finally sunk in and I've accepted it, or if I'm still in denial. I guess either is a possibility. The worst is when I talk to him. I can hear the emotion in his voice. Until now, I've only seen my dad cry a handful of times in my life...so few I could probably count them on one hand. Okay maybe 1 1/2 hands, but you get my point. My dad just doesn't cry. It's so rare. So to see him cry and get all choked up when he talks about the "gravity of the situation" (his words), is unnerving.

He's going to be in Burlington later today for his second chemo treatment. I'll be over there holding his hand.
