Woke up today feeling OK better then  yesterday so that's a plus.  Right?  Thinking positive and trying to think of happy things.  Up date on my step dad he went home yesterday he wants to be in his in place of anything happens.  Just found out that my biological fathers cancer is back again bad and this time it's worse. Not taking it as bad because he left when I was 1 and I didn't meet him till I was 29 so. It still hurts but not as bad if that makes sense.  Now In just worried for my mom. I pray that god keeps her here. I also want to thank everyone that comments and gives advice it's really appreciated. Thank you  you all help keep me going.  Big hugs let's rock this day.

It makes perfect sense to this crazy woman that your step-father's dilemma is more painful to you than your bio-father's dilemma. Yea, biology counts, as does the late reintroduction, but the daily presence through those formative years counts for ALLOT more.

Yay you for holding a steady course through the stormy waters. I'm with you for rocking this day. ROCK ON!!!

Yeah, Toughassteele, for me it's been as you say, " It still hurts but not as bad if that makes sense." That's my sense, too. Never no hurt at all, just not as bad. And so on day by day. It's what recovery is. Like the beat day by day arfie's talking about in the Van Zandt song lyrics there.
