Well i found out this weekend that my Dad was just informed that his has 6 to 12 months to live thanks to stage four lung cancer. I am at a loss for words. This man has shown me how to be a man, husband and father. The world is going to be a sad darker place. I don't want to even think of life without him. I know this will destroy my Mom this is her second husband she has lost to Cancer. I am planning on going Home on leave for Christmas.

I'm very sorry. I know how painful it is to lose a parent and especially one who has taught you so much. I watched my Dad struggle (in person and from afar) with Congestive Heart Failure and COPD for over 3 yrs. He was my hero and taught me so much. He passed away before I could make it home to say my goodbyes, such is military life. He passed on my birthday and two days before his own. Try to enjoy your Christmas visit with your Dad and family. I cherish the memories of my last visit home and the conversations I had with my Dad while there. They will live on in my heart and mind. My prayers are with you and your family. *hugs*

I wish I could say something that will make things better for you. I can't even really tell you I know what you're going through, because you've been through so much. You're an amazingly strong man and I know you can continue to be. I lost my mom to cancer and it was the hardest thing I ever had to face. If you EVER need to talk, please don't hesitate to let me know.

When the shock factor starts to disipate, & the life changes that will enevitably take place, have settled down into a routine. The healing will start, and as the time passes, memories of the good times will far surpass any bad, and you will realize that you are a stronger person just for having known him. This was his part "of the Masters plan".
