Without even knowing you, I'm sending you hugs (from someone who's been there - I lost my father to cancer, too, though I was only 11 at the time. I still remember.) I'm so sorry for the pain you're experiencing and yet, so thankful, on your behalf, that you got to spend those last 8 weeks with your father. (Many years from now, you'll see the beauty in that time and will cherish it, too. Though it never will change the fact that you and your father should have never gone through this.) It's awful seeing the man you looked up to, the man you believe hung the moon, become so frail and weak. It's awful becoming the caretaker for your parent. Roles (at least at our age) should not be reversed like that. I'm sorry for your kids that they don't get many more happy years with their grandfather. I'm sorry for your dad that he didn't get to enjoy many more happy years of being a grandfather. And I'm sorry for you -- there's just something so special about a girl and her dad. Sigh... Hugs, Lals Zoot,

I remember sitting with my Mom while she stared at me, not blinking or talking like she was trying to memorize my face. I remember her final breath as I held her hand and told her it was ok to leave us when I really didn't want her to leave. I am sad that my youngest, who was only 8 wks old, will never ever get to be loved on by the most loving woman. It has been almost 2 years and there are more than a few nights that I still cry myself to sleep because I miss my Mom desparately. Tonight I am crying for you because I know.
