Going public with this now.

Over the last several months, many have noticed my absence a lot. I have kept this private, only among the clan members mostly. However, as of today, I am requesting prayers for my family and I. My father, whom many knew was sick, was diagnosed with cancer recently. We were told we had about a year left with him. Plans were made, and fell apart quickly as we soon found out that the cancer is extremely aggressive, and went from his lungs to his bones, and his brain. Today, against all promises I made to him, I put him into the hospice center. He had become aggressive, fighting, and in just too much pain to keep at home. He is not coming home, and if he makes it to the weekend, I will consider it a gift. I may come in and play mohaa tonight, just to get my mind off things, but as of right now, we are heading into Little Rock to go see him, so please, if you pray, pray, if you light candles, do that. I do not ask for more time, I ask for the strength to keep going, and ask that his suffering ends soon. Thank you.

I was in the same boat a couple years back. There comes a time when hospice is what is required. You took care of your father. If this is his time, then you were there for him right until the end, which is all anyone could ask for. Hang in there.

[RAPT(+)R]

Will be praying for your strength.

It only took Rachel 9 days from knowing she was in bad shape. Guess I was lucky that she didn't suffer. God is perfect in his timing, I don't know if that comforts you but it is true. I will be praying for you guys as I always do.

[Stormy]

Thanks guys, it is just hard, I keep telling myself I am prepared, and ready for him to be out of pain, but I can't see my life without him. My world has revolved around him for a long time, and now I am lost on what to do. I am just tired of seeing him suffering now.

My father passed on this morning. I am okay at the moment, but thank you all for your thoughts. Love you guys.

[Dro!d]

my heart goes out to you Stormy. many prayers.

[MsDimeanor]

I am so sorry to hear that Stormy. There is really nothing that can be said that will make you feel any better right now, but know that we are here for you. My prayers are with you and your family.

[Stormy]

Thank you both. I find myself on a roller coaster of emotions right now, one minute I am fine, then I have a random thought that I was to tell my dad about, only, I can't. We had a very strong bond, even if I did get angry with him a lot, or him with me, we still could carry on a conversation about things that I would never talk to anyone else about. I just feel so lost right now, only way to explain it.
