Sam, it's very nice to hear of another beating cancer. I've been down that road so many times in the last decade I have memorized the traffic lights. lol.

Best wishes to your dad for his strength! [img]/images/graemlins/toast.gif[/img] Cancer is a prick and whenever it is beaten, for any amount of time, I salute those that have endured and won. [img]/images/graemlins/notworthy.gif[/img]

Well, here we go with yet another case of "the wife is last to know" LOL....I can laugh now and give him hell....Sam took it kinda hard when he first found out, but hes not the type to talk about anything, so he kept it all to himself.

Now, if we can just get his ass up north for Christmas....

Sam,
I lost my Dad to lung cancer 3 years ago. He was in his mid 70's. He tried some experimental treatment that almost killed him on the first dose. So, he took the conventional cancer treatments, but never really got well.

I delivered my Dad's Eulogy...I have to say, it was THE most important thing I have ever done. He was an "old school" man of integrity. He deserved to be recognised properly.

I guess my point is that sometimes when a person that means the world to you is diagnosed with a major illness, there is a silver lining (at least there was for me). I had the opportunity to sit down and talk with him about stuff we wouldnt normally talk about. The ability to speak openly without "Posturing" took a ton of weight off of his chest. It was some of the best times I ever got to spend with him.

I think the coolest thing about my dad's illness & death was that he died in his sleep, at home in his own bed, with his wife at his side....just like he wanted. He dreaded the idea of dying in a hospital.

I'm glad for you and your Dad Sam. Get up there and see him as often as possible. Hug his neck and tell him how fortunate you are to have him as your Dad.

<font color="yellow">Thank you all for the comments...it truly helps!!

This has to be one of the best bunch of people of any message board I've ever been associated with, along with Charvel Central (yeah, I also belong to the "Woof" board lol...a board for Boston Terrier owners [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]).

Krista...baby....I did tell you on the phone before you made your post [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

I am going home for Christmas one way or the other this year to see the Old Dude!! It's been embarrasingly too long since I've seen him.

My dad, like I'm sure many of you think of your own dad's, is the greatest dad I could ever hope for. He never finished school, yet is one of the smartest people I know. He has the work ethics of a Clysdale and the patience of a Saint (he never choked me, even when he had due cause from me).

Every week ending up with "I love you" never seems enough and leaves me feeling empty for some reason.

Like Krista said, I didn't take it too well when I found out about him, but I WAS the last to know as he didn't want me to be hurt knowing it (he's like that).

Thanks....my emotions are high right now....not trying to be sappy [img]/images/graemlins/refuse.gif[/img]</font>

Depending on how long your stay will be, look me up when you're here for the holiday. We can grab a beer or eleven.
